Before Thomas gets the chance to repeat it: "ASSP is not a mail server,
it is a proxy"

It can't queue messages. If there is no mail server at the other end,
then it won't complete the connection, and the client will not deliver
the mail. Whether or not the client tries to resend the mail is up to
the configuration of the client's output server. Most
correctly-configured servers will continue to try. Most spammers will not.
