Re: [iMS] Retry Bounces question

[Howie Hamlin]

In what way?  iMS is providing you with a list of transient failures and then it's designating the failure as premanent if the mail cannot be delivered.  This doesn't really have much to do with the RFC and, as I mentioned, you can decipher the status code from the iMS vars.  If an email cannot be delivered for whatever reason then iMS considers that to be a permanent delivery failure for that particular email.  I mean - there's nothing to stop a remote server from permanently responding with a transient error....so, iMS is just telling you that it cannot deliver a particular mail and is giving up which means that the error for that mail is permanent.   Regards,   Howie ----- Original Message ----- From: David D Droddy To: inFusion Support List Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 1:13 PM Subject: Re: [iMS] Retry Bounces question   So, I guess we CAN make our own conclusions from the detailed reason data, but it does seem to me that the interpretation of the code by iMS sort of steps away from the RFC spec.
