Hi Howie, Did IMS ever get to introduce the functionality of executing ReportPostStatus.cfm even in cases where there is no connection with the receiving server? ie when there is a "SOCKET ERROR: Connection refused". See conversation below...
Also, the POST server does not even try to send emails to malformed email addresses. Is there a way to return the malformed email addresses? mayeb with a status like "BADEMAIL" or something like that?

It means that there was no smtp server listening at that address.

This situation is not considered a delivery attempt since the connection to the other server was never actually established. Usually, when a problem like this occurs there are other email servers designated in the MX for the domain. In this case there are two other servers designated for this domain and iMS should then attempt to send the mail to one of those alternate servers. > Is there any > way of enabling this? > Currently no. If iMS cannot connect to any of the designated servers then the mail will be retried and ReportPostStatus is not executed. If you need ReportPostStatus to be called in this situation then we can add this functionality in a future release.
