You are trusting that the other side will promptly retry. That's not a 
safe assumption on either counts - ie that it will retry at all or that 
any retries will not be subject to significant delays.

While email is not a time guaranteed medium users do have reasonable 
expectations that there wont be lengthy delays - at least my users do.
