This is not true. Our RemoteDelivery mailet will see that there is no "some-unavailable-host.com" or the MX associated to that domain are permanently not available and will bounce back the message to the sender. This is already done by RemoteDelivery: you can also configure a bounceProcessor in RemoteDelivery and use the DSNBounce mailet if you prefer to customize the bounce. > all i want to do is, to ping the server and see if the server is available > or not. if unavailable, the error msg will be sent to the sender > immediately > > > heop this clears up a lot :) I don't understand what do you mean with ping the server? Do you want to use a real ping? This is plain wrong. Many servers could reject ICMP packets while accepting the SMTP connections. And you would have to check the MX servers and not the domain.
