the mail server should obtain the MX record of target mailing address

again. This item is used to set the maximum number of tries.

interval between each try.
Try ISP SMTP if direct sending failed: Some Internet mail
servers use IP filter function to block spam emails. It also may
block the regular emails from your mail server. CMailServer uses
this option to solve this problem. CMailServer sends mail to the
ISP smtp server first, then ISP forwards this email to the destination
email address.
