And yes you have the scenario correct, except what do you mean by "The sp_send_dbmail returns successfully"? No retries in code. Just those attempted by db mail.
I mean that the call to the sproc returns without error and the retries I meant are configured at the database mail level, retries, max attachment size and such are set at that same spot..
