Bad Email Delivery Servers


Email delivery is supposed to attempt more than 1 time.

If the first message gets deferred then the MTA (mail server) is going to retry the message X number of times in X given period. Usually you've seen a proper mail server set up with a reply to your email that the message has been in queue too long, or that the mail server has given up after 3 days.

Which mail servers are behaving badly, and are only trying 1 attempt?

The GUILTY:
twitter
facebook
linkedin

to name a few...
