Then they have gone into the abyss. If the SMTP server did not report any
errors, then you are guaranteed that it accepted the message data and its
delivery it now out of your hands. If you are not seeing the message
bounced back via POP3, then either:
1) your SMTP server delivered it successfully and the problem in on the
receiver's end
2) your SMTP server has simply not delvered the message yet, such as if it
is queued for later processing
3) your SMTP server is having problems delivering the message, but has not
given up on it yet. Most servers try for a few days before reporting a
failure back to the original sender.

Well, but there has been a lot of work done on Indy's emailing code over the
years, though. More so to support anti-spamming systems then to address
actual transmission issues. But there had been work done on TIdMessage's
support code as well for better message parsing and generating.

Upgrading from 8 to 9 should be less painful than upgrading from 8 to 10.
