Nice, so at least your messages sent to their SMTP servers will actually bounce instead of being silently dropped /s

Normally if server down, smtp will wait a little while and try again.

Nah, no way they're getting rid of their M.C.-Escher-esque 'Forefront' mail-disappearance-machine-that-nobody-in-Microsoft-seems-to-understand-or-control, but, yeah, even their Internet-facing infrastructure seems unhappy:

Anything sent to my work or home Outlook email from gmail doesn't bounce back, and anything sent from those is still stuck in the outbox. Microsoft.

		It won't actually bounce until either gmail gives up on its retries (which generally is 24 hours) or the outlook server gives an explicit rejection (rather than a temporary error or timeout)
