Remarks
When the FailuresBeforeAbort limit is reached, the distributor writes a message to the application log and then marks the work item as failed. In this case, there might be notifications in the work item that were never attempted. If there is a retry schedule, the distributor will pick up the work item at the next retry interval and retry both the failed notifications and those that were never attempted.
Example
The following example shows how to specify that ten consecutive delivery failures are permissible before aborting any further attempts.
<FailuresBeforeAbort>10</FailuresBeforeAbort>
