Hi Davide, I agree with you that if Xmail receives an error message from a remote server, it will send back an error message to the user. However, I received complaints from a couple of users that they were not receiving email if they accidently mistyped an email address to hotmail or yahoo. I just assumed it was a human error and didn't really think much of it. Later, they called me back and said that indeed, when they sent an email to a non-existent user at yahoo or hotmail, they would never get an undeliverable message. I experimented on my own. I sent an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ran TCPDUMP. For Hotmail, the error message I see is: 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable But Xmail never sends me the error message. For Yahoo, the error message I see is: 554 delivery error: dd This user doesn't have a yahoo.com account ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [0] - mta239.mail.scd.yahoo.com Again, I never receive an error message from Xmail. I tried this with a sendmail server, and I did receive the error messages. Any idea why my XMail is not returning error messages for certain domains? Thanks.
