Not being sent is different from not being received. When you send e-mail through the Internet it is not gauranteed to to arrive at the destination. It is 100% possible that moz is getting the e-mail to your SMTP server and that somewhere between your SMTP server and the addressee's mail server it is gettting dropped. There is nothing you can do about this. Althought it has been a few years, I do remember reading that about 1% of all Internet e-mail gets dropped somewhere and never arrives.
Normally if moz can not pass the mail to your SMTP server, you will get a message telling you this. Think of it this way, you write a snail mail letter, take it to the post office, and drop it in the box yourself. That does not mean that it will arrive at whomever you addressed it to. Could get lost , damaged, delivered to the wrong place, or purposely diverted (thrown away). mick.s wrote: > Thanks for your reply.
