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.
