Returned, not discarded. A good mail server will notify the sender of the
delivery failure after a preset time, usually 4 days.

However, since the backup mail server was holding the messages for us, the
actual timeout would be longer, perhaps 8 days.

Check the mailing list archives.

I noticed that your ISP failed to deliver a couple of messages to you. I
forward them to you for review in a bit.

It's Toronto and it's next week and under normal circumstances I would
have arranged for someone to watch the server.

Circumstances are not what I consider normal at the moment.
