They ought to if your mailserver retries for more than a day. I.e. if
it tries again tomorrow, it should go through; if it just gives up
when it gets DNS error, then you should've gotten a daemon notice.

I think this is an important point to bear in mind for voting systems.
I refer you to this excellent talk that explains why:
http://www.ted.com/talks/malcolm_gladwell_on_spaghetti_sauce.html

Ideally a voting system ought to make clear whether we have, for
instance, two or more distinctly different cliques ('distinctly' being
a somewhat fuzzy term, as we will certainly have people voting
differently, and there'll be some need to compromise regardless).
