For instance, I know that some systems assume that HTML only messages are spam. The alternative is to compose HTML messages with text alternative version in the same message. I developed this class an enhanced it to the point that it could do that for messages that are sent as HTML. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage Another situation is the temporary fault, like recipient SMTP server is too busy or the recipient is temporarily blocked or his mailbox is full. The usual procedure for this is to keep retrying for several days. Meanhwhile you do not know what is going on unless you inspect you sending server queue. That is not very practical. To avoid this problem, I developed a SMTP client class that implements direct delivery mode. That is a mode where instead of connecting to the local mailer to relay the messsage, the class connects to the recipient mail server and tries to deliver the message immediately. If there is an hard fault, like mailbox is full, or message rejection due to spam detection, you may be aware of it immediately. That class is located here but there is a wrapper for it using the class above. http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass > time).

That was always true since the beginning of history of e-mail. The question for you is how do you want to handle that? Do you want to be aware when messages bounce or are refused for some reason ? -- Regards, Manuel Lemos -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
