Seth's answer is correct on who to complain to (in the case of a 4xx error). My response should have read:
The action that K-9 takes *should* be based on the error code that it gets from the server it is talking to. If the error is 5xx (the verbiage is irrelevant), that's a permanent error and K-9 shouldn't try again. If the error code is 4xx, that's a transient error and the standards are that the initiating side should fall-back and try again. So, if you can see/capture the error code -- if it's 5xx, then report it as a K-9 bug. However, if it's 4xx, then complain to *your provider*. > Date: Wednesday, July 29, 2015 10:58:20 PM -0400 > From: Seth H Holmes <[email protected]> > > That's not how email works. > > You send to your isp's SMTP server.
