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.

Riaz..
