Mailing queue

We're currently using JS community edition, i don't know about the entreprise edition but we're regularly having problems with our smtp provider, this causes from our point of view several problems in JS, first of all after three retries the mail queue will stop retrying and will fail with an SMTP Broken pipe exception which is logged in the messages section of the console. Our question is, why not having a queue and being able to manage the mail sending that failed manually, or at least keep retrying (with some relaxed policy) until the smtp server responds or JS is stopped?

Well maybe there some other reason to not do this, we understand that it's our problem (and our provider's) if the smtp server is not responding, but this causes us many headaches until someone remebers that this can be the case and looks at the messages in the console.

Depending on the type of machines you have at your disposal you could always setup your own SMTP, or at least install Sendmail if you are on linux, since I am guessing you are mostly sending your reports to internal users. That way you are not always at your SMTP providers mercy.
