The delivery contract in this case is between a message-sending client (SMTP client) and a message-receiving server (SMTP server). "Guarantee" meaning within the SLA for data durability of the storage provider for the message-receiving server.

You always need to consider time, processing, storage, network constraints, what does "good enough" mean, and gobs of other stuff. That's the whole point in saying "you can't guarentee deliver-once"--you always have to say "it depends, and depends on what you can settle for."
