So no, the bounce mechanism doesn't report spam details. If you're concerned about your emails being marked as spam, consider utilizing the SendGrid-Google App Engine integration and sending your emails from SendGrid servers. You'll have better access to analytics; see an explanation here: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/mail/sendgrid ----------------- -Vinny P Technology & Media Advisor Chicago, IL App Engine Code Samples: http://www.learntogoogleit.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
