SSL Encryption

What happens if I
1. Encrypt a message with SSL
2. Send it over the internet
3. A couple of bytes get corrupted.
Would that prevent me from decrypting the entire message?

When were the bytes corrupted? If during communication, then no,
because the protocol has a mechanism for retransmitting corrupted
packets. If while on disk or in memory, then yes.

What protocol are you talking about? I never told which protocol I had a
problem with. I use SMTP with S/MIME. Sometimes I fail to decrypt the
encrypted email.
Does SMTP make a retry for S/MIME?

No. Yet by default SMTP doesn't use SSL. Your subject line is confusing.

When you fail to decrypt an S/MIME message, you must receive some kind of
error message. What is that?
