*BEST* SMTP retry values

["Kern, Mary T" <MKern4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We had a problem with our network last night between 10 and just after midnight.  We have a job run at about 10:20 that sends out many many emails.  Our SMTP server is set to 3 retries at 30 minute intervals.  That's it.  So, of course, these emails never got sent.  I know that we changed this some time ago.  I think we should probably have at least one that retries *hours* later or possibly even the next day.  Can anyone give me an idea of good retry intervals?  
 
Thanks! 
Mary
