It depends on if they are local addresses or outside addresses. I've gotten
immediate rejections for local addresses and hours delay on outside
addressees. Part of that is the server at the other end has to attempt
delivery, reject the message and then send it back to the sending server for
delivery back to the sender. There is also the matter of how often the user
checks his Email (every 5 minutes or 30?).

Subject: [IMail Forum] Delivery failure messages placed in queue?
