Re: SMTP: confirmation of delivery

If you're not using a mail router and delivering mail directly from
your AS/400 my MAILTOOL (and MAILTOOL Plus) software will do this.. it
will send an error if the recipients mail server doesn't accept the
email.

Then again, you have the issue if they don't have it configured
properly to send the right error codes during the SMTP conversation.

And again, most do use a mail router (like exchance, yahoo, gmail,
etc) so once it's passed onto that any errors would have to be trigger
by the router itself.

    We have the same issue raised by some of our customers. We typically
    use, say, an Exchange server instead of the built-in one, and that
    server will send back a response that all is good. But if the server
    doesn't process it, we will never know.

    I was told today that the admin of said Exchange server can do an email
    trace to see what happened - correlate the time and email address,
    maybe.

    Hope that helps a little!
