Dan,
I use this code for checking if it sent.
PLUGINS RMail v1|SEND
IF v1 <> 'OK' THEN
SET VAR vError TEXT = .v1
PAUSE 3 USING .vError CAPTION 'Info' ICON SERIOUS
GOTO file_end
ELSE
SET VAR v1 = ('Message sent ' + .v1 + '!')
PAUSE 3 USING .v1 CAPTION 'Info' ICON CONFIRM
ENDIF
LABEL file_end
But do not believe that will check if the email address is correct. That is
what concerns our AR people.
We need to make sure we find out if an email is not accurate.

Looks like the varname will store the value of the delivery status.
>From the pdf.
VarName is the resulting text variable which will return the status of the
email process, such as 'OK' or
the exact -ERROR- message. This return value is where one can capture the
delivery status
of the email after the SEND parameter is issued
PLUGINS RMail VarName|<parameter value>
So you can program if varname is not ok then display the error to the user.

Jim,
To confirm, you are not receiving any bounce back messages due to the rejected
email or other errors? I have worked with at least 5 or 6 email hosts and
bounce back messages have not been a problem, even with Office 365. That
includes POP3, IMap, and Exchange. If you are in fact not receiving bounce back
messages at all, perhaps check with your email host provider, maybe they can
help. Sounds like the returns are being blocked, but I have not experienced
this and at the moment can't venture a guess as to why. Maybe spam filters are
too aggressive?
BTW, does the latest version of Rmail provide a means to request confirmation
of delivery from the recipient?

Steve,
We have implemented the BCC policy on the emails to make sure they were sent
out. Our concern is the “bounce back” you mentioned and it does not seem that
is happening.
This is why there is concern on the part of our AR department. We ask for a
receipt from the receiver but as you know that can be rejected by the receiver.
Thanks for the suggestions.

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.
Hope this helps a little,
Steve Johnson

I don’t think that is a RMail issue. Most email servers will not respond to
bad email addresses. The main reason is this would verify email server exists.

We use Rmail working with the Outlook365 STMP.
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?
