I am still trying to understand what is happening to my bounced emails: If the server log says:
03:14 08:07 SMTP-(00000484) 250 OK 03:14 08:07 SMTP-(00000484) rdeliver aol.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] (1) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 6672 03:14 08:07 SMTP-(00000484) >QUIT 03:14 08:07 SMTP-(00000484) 221 SERVICE CLOSING CHANNEL 03:14 08:07 SMTP-(00000484) finished D:\IMail\spool\Qe23407a.SMD status=1 Then wasn't the email delivered? If so, why do I get an email reply that says: ... while talking to air-xa03.mail.aol.com.: >>> RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 550 MAILBOX NOT FOUND 550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... User unknown I just thought that if the user was unknown, then I should have the '550' error in my logs with the message not being delivered at all.
