Notify the sender if is hasn't been delivered in four hours.
Try to deliver the mail for five days.
Mail is a store and forward operation.
You local mail relay tries to send the mail, and if the receiver can't be reached for some reason, it queues it up and tries again periodically. The local administrator can set the warning and return values, but often you find the defaults.
Leased lines go down, mailservers crash or fill up, a new virus comes out and some servers go nuts while others are shut down until they're patched, etc,etc
