I don't know what the correct terminology is for my question - please
adjust my wording as needed.
When a user mistypes a remote e-mail address (not that THAT ever
happens!), the result is typically either a "user unknown", "invalid
recipient", or "host or domain not found" message. At least for MY
system, with MY configuration (however flawed it may be), this results
in a couple messages floating in the send queue with these statuses.
Periodically, I'll check for such items, notify my users of a problem,
and delete them from the queue.
I do have a bounce_template_file, and I've TRIED to make it a bit more
informative - but my users still cross their eyes and call me and
complain that OUR mail server is broken!
Is there a more advanced option that can give individual messages
instead of a generic bounce message? Something that might parse the
rejection and give specific advice to the computer illiterate?
Also, is there any e-mail interface for canceling messages? So that if
a slightly more competent user actually READS the bounce message,
determines that they spelled it wrong - they can tell the mail server to
cancel the send?
