The  server  will retry sending in first 4 hours, and every attempt will
try  8  times  per  MX.  It depend on the traffic though, sometimes in 4
hours  the server will retry 10 times , sometimes more and sometime less
than 4 (the server will check delivery schedule every 1 minutes).

It's  depend  on  error messages when trying to deliver, but normally if
after  4  hours the message can't be deliver it will going to RetryQueue
in  this  list  (will  stack  there for 3-days, trying delivery for next
days) or going to Relay Host for further delivery attempt.

MDP> After  four  days,  the server will inform the list manager (in the
MDP> case  of  list  traffic) of the permanent delivery failure. This is
MDP> the  retry  queue  logic.  It doesn't apply to the example you have

Correct, thank for the explanation.
