If a message cannot be delivered at the first attempt - eg if the remote mail server is busy or gives a 'soft' fail etc we will retry as follows:

* For the first 4 hours, we'll try every 15 minutes

* For the first 6 hours, we'll try every 5 minutes

* For the next 36 hours we will retry at ~~an increasing intervals~~

* For the next 16 hours we will retry around every hour

* ~~thereafter~~ we will retry every 3 hours for the next 31 days

* Thereafter we will retry every 6 hours for the next 4 days

* after 4 days we will give up and bouncing it back

During this time, we will send automated emails saying that the email is delayed.

If the remote server outright rejects message or if there is some other permanent error, we will bounce the message back right away and not retry.
