Thanks Stefano and Bernd. I am aware of the functionality of the mailets. Somehow I missed the GHOST state. Yes thats what I want. May be in the transport processor, I can have my custom Mailet instead of the following local delivery element..
<mailet match="RecipientIsLocal" class="LocalDelivery"/> And have my mailet take a decision on setting the state as GHOST/ERROR or something else based on the processing. Rite ?
