Re: [iMS] Tokens not processing.

Howie,
 
My theory, which I'm pretty sure is right, is that this problem is showing up only where there is a bad MX (or similar failure), and the interaction with the remote mail server never begins.  The SMTPFrom (or failto) isn't expanded, and the error message sent back by ims is sent to the unexpanded address.  This would be why the tests you're running work. 
 
PLEASE don't tell us to handle failed MX's in ReportPostStatus.  Yes, it can be handled there.  But I'd prefer a single, consistent method of handling bounces, and maintaining it in two places is very error-prone.
 
Question: if ReportPostStatus is being used, does an email still get sent to failto?  How would one disable this?  This is probably not the method I'll use, but I'm curious anyway.

I just ran a test using the control file that you sent to the list and a test mail file.  The mail was sent using the latest POST Server to the SMTP Test server that comes with iMS.  Here is the log from the test server:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see, the tokens are working as they should.  Here is the test control file (slightly modified from the one that you sent)
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Control]

[Delivery]

Next=20030104101618

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, here is the mail file that I used:
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          by POSTTestConsole.com (inFusion email Server) with ESMTP id iMS-TestConsole

Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2003 17:01:16 -0500
 
Your ID is <:id:>
 
Test!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You should be able to reproduce my results using these same files....
