Subject: [iMS] Bounces - let's kick the
dead horse one more time...
Sorry, but I kind
of remember this question/answer but wanted to just double
check...
I have the
following header enabled in my messages:
SMTPFROM="#GetClient.company#
<#Project.EmailFrom#>"
FAILTO="#fail_address#"
HEADER_Errors_To="#fail_address#"
HEADER_Return_Path="#fail_address#"
HEADER_Reply_To="#GetClient.company#
<#Project.EmailReply#>"
HEADER_From="#GetClient.company#
<#Project.EmailFrom#>"
My clients are
getting a ton of messages coming in to them from the mailings. Most
of them are "Out of Office" messages that are simply going back to the 'From'
address or 'Reply-to' address, which is fine - but they are also getting some
bounces. Is this because the email server on the other end is sending
the 'bounced error' to the 'From/Reply-to' addresses instead of the
'Errors-to' address as they should?
Yes. There is nothing to
force the other mail server to send bounces properly.
My clients still
want to get replies and have their email listed in the From, so I'm stuck with
that. I've been telling them that it is because some email servers
choose to send it back to that particular address or don't recognize the
'Errors-to' header. Am I simply blowing smoke or am I
right?
You are correct...
HTH,
Howie
Thanks,
