Let me clarify.  By saying 24 hours, I meant that it retries 12 times
(once every 15 mins), then there is a temporary fail message sent to the
enduser.  Finally, it then retries 21 more times (once every 60 minutes)
for a grand total of 33 times during a 24 hour period and a permanent
failure message is sent back to the enduser.

Exactly, so why does an email server have to retry for 3 days if it
isn't "Guaranteed"?  If it gets rejected, let the enduser resend the
email.  The people at my company have no problems doing that.  I'm sorry
if they do at yours. :-)
