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

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.

Bye,
Stephan
