    This is marginally related but proton has a feature that tells when you when an email is still being retried, and when it gives up.

    That email is called something like delayed mail (still being retried), and for a long time, my dumbass thought it was some feature that was being retired and I was like wtf why have they taken months to retire this feature.

    Anyway, proton retries for 48 hrs as well.

      Can’t smtp do multiple hops through multiple smtp servers or MX (mail exchanges)? In which case, how would the client know, beyond the first hop?
