I have a feature (called greylisting) whereby my server intentionally rejects the first mail it receives from a domain.

I have never had anyone claim that their mail has not been delivered to me, and I get a lot of mail.

Retry is built in to the spec, and if you’re really worried you can put a second “receive” SMTP server on the internet with a lower priority, and have it backhaul with LMTP.

Email was designed in a time where hosts were not perpetually connected to each other.
