Effectively, it would be nice if commands/syntaxes/... errors send an 'alert' to the "PostMaster" (as d=E9fined in server.tab file) IMOO the possible responses from xmail for invalid commands or syntaxes = in various .tab files could be : - Report 5xx error to sender (because the mail will not be processed = until error corrected) OR - Report 4xx error to sender (supposing this will be corrected promptly = ....) Then - In any both previous ndr, send a error report to the "PostMaster" = email to do corrective actions (and original mail saved in spool and in 'frozen' state, even if "RemoveSpoolErrors=3D1" because it's not a 'smtp' error = but a misconfigured xmail ?).
