Funny, Dave. Seems that store-and-forward is still a part of the "RFC
world". I guess you have never seen sendmail fail to deliver a message
and keep it in the mail queue until {it could|three days}. 

You're so lucky, never sending mail to a system that is down. Tell us
all how you do it? Do you ping every recipient's host to make sure it is
up before you send the mail? That doesn't guarantee that there is a
working mail demon -- you must do a manual SMTP connection and just not
count the times that you can't connect in your definition of
"reliable".

Or have you just never noticed it happening so it doesn't exist for
you?
