I second this - I think it would be a very useful feature. I have my timeouts tuned so a mail takes around 3 days to fail - a configurable delay notification would be excellent :)
On another note, even better if the messages for failure/delay were configurable - isn't it Postfix which has 'cute' messages - something like 'sorry it didn't work out' for a failure. We must be able to better this with Xmail :) Cheers, Paul Stephan Hartmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] e> cc: Sent by: Subject: [xmail] information about send failure xmail-bounce@xmail server.org 01/02/2002 10:28 Please respond to xmail Hi List, hi Davide, is it possible to tell XMail to inform the sender of an email, if the email could not be delivered for the first try and that it will be scheduled? Two reasons for this need: 1. if the domain does not exist because you misspelled it, XMail will try by default 32 times and then you get this "maximum tentatives..." message after some 12 hours. A workaround would be to set the number of tries and the timeout lower, but what if it just was a network outage? 2. network outage is the second thing. today our internet connection was down and one sent an important mail from our intranet which in fact could not be delivered for the time internet connection was down, but he didn't get informed. It would be very useful if XMail would send a message or drop to a local mailbox to inform about the reason why an email could not be delivered and that it is scheduled for some time.
