Log of failed emails ?

[kieranohagan]

We use SNDDST to send email messages to users and vendors in some of our applications. Can anybody tell me if there is some way of checking if any emails failed to send (i.e. they had an incorrect email address). I have looked at the QRYDST command but the output file does not seem to hold info relating to emails that I deliberately send with an erroneous address, they seem to be logged as being successful.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is the pop server on the 400 or are you sending this off to an email server?

It is on the 400. It is all working fine but sometimes an incorrect address is used and we want to know when this happens.

There is no relevant information in the journal whatsoever. How can anybody tell when the iSeries mail fails what happened? I have wondered this for years.

There's no bulletproof way of checking erroneous e-mail address. You can however catch errors during data entry when someone keys in an e-mail address using regular expression. Check out the Scott Klement top-notch article Validate E-Mail Address with a Regular Expression published on System iNetwork site.

Thanks for that but I am not sure it helps me.

If there is no way of knowing, how does the CFMDEL parameter work ? Surely this must know whether a mail was sent or not (that said, when I set it to *YES, I do not get a confirmation message back of any sort at any time).

10 83 U <ggggggg.sssss§dom.eu>            2010-11-03-13.00.36.799888

This from Scott Klement:

There's no successful delivery to ggggggg.sssss§dom.eu in the log you posted. At entry #10, it shows that it's undeliverable. (U=Undelivered Recipient. 83=Log of undelivered mail.)
