Exchange is just one example; same applies if the internet connection is =
down
for some hours (for outgoing traffic). Retries eventually trigger =
"temporary
error"-messages. To detect line outages or other failures I have set
"NotifyTryPattern" to "2, another value I don't remember now". But if I =
and
the users _know_ that the connection is down it makes more sense to =
suspend
sending until everything is fixed.
Retries also are usually configured to become less frequent over time, =
thus
making delivery slower if the problem is solved. Of course one can flush =
the
queue but an interface "problem solved, now resume normal operation" =
makes
sense, IMO.

Yes, but the slogs are per message (very useful, but hard to find), but =
IMO
everything sending related should be logged in the SMAIL-Logs, including =
non
successfull sends, not different to SMTP.
Also, the SLOG-Logs are lost if the message is removed after a permanent
failure or to many retries (keeping frozen messages just for the sake of
logging is a bit much).
So, no trace of a message is left in the logs, which is bad bad bad.

Hehe, I see you don't have to deal with ... not too ... you know what I =
mean.
Let's put it another way: reading and understanding what is written is =
not a
common thing. Also sometimes the info "after DATA" is missing (IIRC).
You are right, more a nice-to-have, but nice nonetheless. :-)
