Thanks, but you misunderstand my point. Actually you pretty much prove my point that most MTAs are run by those who can't grasp that there are RFC standards out there.
An MTA should never resend after only 5 minutes. It should wait at least 25 minutes before even the first retry.
I've seen many set up to retry every 60 seconds, giving up after 5 tries. One IT tech even told me it was so his boss doesn't have to wait 3 days to get a non-delivery report! Lol.
