If there's non delivery after X attempts I'd suggest an auto netmail to the
sender is generated and something to sysop as well / noted in MUTIL logs.

Not sure if the logic is in there but if a netmail is routed to another Mystic
system and the routing at destination sends the netmail back to the
originating system... and you start getting a back and forth loop happening...
there needs to be something there to detect this, cease the loop and send a
netmail to the sender and sysop of the source system alerting them to the
failed delivery... 

Nice to see you active, hope things are going well.
