No guarantee there, some services are broken and do not retry, hotmail used to, and I've heard in some cases, still does, do this, some marketing system (ok, so thats no loss) do this - there reasoning is because of such high outbound queues, it would only delay first runs and upset their clients, again, no loss to me, but one persons spam can be anothers ham.
It is after all why we have secondary MX's, on network, and if need be, off network.
