everything is in the log file. When Imail has a msg for the relay
machine, Imail will bang away on the ip for that domain in NT hosts
file. If the relay machine is off-line, Imail logs an 'MX connect
fail', defers the msg for "retry period" and bangs away later.

only if Imail cannot deliver for 'SMTP retry attempts' x 'retry
period' to the relayed/ETRN mailserver.

Everything is in the logs. Sit quietly, meditate on the logs, all
will be revealed.
