 This service receives an envelope over the Nym mixnet and delivers the
 already encrypted YAMN packet to an allowlisted SMTP entry through Tor.
 
+Transient Tor connection failures are retried three times with bounded
+backoff before the SMTP transaction begins. Errors after SMTP commands start
+are not retried automatically because the remote acceptance state may be
+ambiguous.
+
 The Nym address is generated by the persistent client identity and printed at
 startup. It must be copied to `YAMN_NYM_RECIPIENT` on the sending web service.
