Subject: Mail Delivery Failed

The attached message was returned with the following error message:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is  a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  joewein@hp.catv.ne.jp
    retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period

Please explain "long failure period".  According to my logs, the message left my desktop at 9/21/2004 12:40:42 PM (UTC -4:00).  According to the headers of the copy of my message you returned to me, you received my message at:

Received: from sccrmhc12.comcast.net ([204.127.202.56])
  by vmx01.prolocation.net with esmtp (Exim 4.41)
  id 1C9nhM-0003t5-AX
  for ABUSE@multikabel.nl; Tue, 21 Sep 2004 18:41:00 +0200

The headers of your auto-response show the following:
Message-Id: <E1C9nhT-0003td-Ao@vmx01.prolocation.net>
Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2004 18:41:07 +0200

That means the response you generated took place exactly 7 seconds after you received it (accounting for the fact that I am at UTC -4:00 and you are at UTC +2:00).  I believe that international e-mail protocol requires your trying for four days.  Please explain.

Sincerely,
