What is store-and-forward reliability?
Store-and-forward reliability means that mail servers can temporarily store messages until the next server is available to receive them. This ensures that email can survive outages or network interruptions.
It is one of the reasons email is so resilient, functioning even when parts of the network are temporarily down.
It is like a relay of ports holding cargo until the next ship arrives to carry it onward.
