Bingo! Seeing the same thing. And it is consistently the last ID for us. -----Original Message----- From: Tac [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 2:07 PM To: inFusion Support List Subject: Re: [iMS] Bounce Back Detection
I've been experiencing a similar problem. If I have two address in the query, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED], if I configure bounce-backs to be based on the ID, then it bounces back to the FIRST (or last, I forget) ID, regardless of which email was bad. As a result, I can end up tagging good@ as failed. The log files do not expand out the tokens, it's not an error, but it does make debugging extremely difficult, and makes proving that this happens nearly impossible. I've spent hours trying to replicate the problem so I can show Howie, but have been unable to. However, it does happen consistently on my system. There may be some other solution with setting failto or something like that, but I can't figure it out. My solution has been to set maxrecipients=1 in the tag, but this means generating thousands of unnecessary files.
