Your idea raises questions: * How and when would you decide that the recipient responding with 5xx was due to the message itself or due to a blacklisted IP address? That's not something that can be decided based on SMTP. * Can you unilaterally decide if it was acceptable to withhold the non-delivery status from your customers? * Are your customers OK with not being informed about your problems due to blocked IP addresses, or do they feel misled regarding the quality of your services? * Why not solve the underlying issue of having your addresses blocked? > I dont want to bother my users with bounces and have them send mails > over and over again until problem is solved. As a hypothetical customer of yours, I'd insist on knowing about every failed e-mail, especially if it was due to problems on your end. If you cannot address the issue that gets your IP addresses blocked, I would choose a different service provider. A mistrusting individual might interpret your "don't want to bother" as "don't want to risk losing". -Ralph _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
