Jim,
If I recall correctly, using the Rmail pluggin a number of years ago (in 9.5), you can have a dialog box pop up showing whether the email was sent successfully through the outgoing server (but not necessarily delivered). As I recall, RMail only knows that it connected to the outgoing server succesfully, but won’t know if the message was delivered. Most recipient email servers will send a bounce back message to the originating email address when the email is rejected assuming the email left the outgoing server in the first place. Since the bounce back comes from the recipient’s mail server as incoming mail to you, you will need to depend on checking for bounce back messages in Outlook, which will give you a clue as to why it failed (unrecognized domain, unrecognized address, mailbox full, restricted, etc). I use to send a BC copy of all email (I was emailing invoices) to my email address (yes, back to myself), as proof that the email made it through the outgoing server and I would monitor incoming email for bounce backs.

Most email servers will not respond to bad email addresses. The main reason is this would verify email server exists.

If one sends out an email from within RBASE with the a bad email address, How do we know if it is a bad email address? When using Outlook directly, we get an error feedback. Does that happen with Rmail? Or is there a code we need to add that would alert us?
