I understand (Heirloom) mailx was written this century.
And:
As mailx is a mail user agent, it provides only basic SMTP
services. If it fails to contact its upstream
SMTP server, it will not make further attempts to transfer the
message at a later time, and it does not
leave other information about this condition than an error
message on the terminal and a `dead.letter'
file. This is usually not a problem if the SMTP server is
located in the same local network as the com-
puter on which mailx is run. However, care should be taken when
using a remote server of an ISP; it might
be better to set up a local SMTP server then which just acts as a
proxy.
Mailx immediately contacts the SMTP server (or
/usr/lib/sendmail) even when operating in disconnected
mode. It would not make much sense for mailx to defer outgoing
mail since SMTP servers usually provide
much more elaborated delay handling than mailx could perform as
a client. Thus the recommended setup for
sending mail in disconnected mode is to configure a local SMTP
server such that it sends outgoing mail as
soon as an external network connection is available again,
i.e. to advise it to do that from a network
startup script.
