Hi Davide, i had a look into it on my own and coded some patches against version 1.5. Now xmail informs a sender about a send failure the first time it occurs and every second try. it also notifies the sender about the success in sending a previously failed message.
Maybe you want to have a look at these patches and integrate them? Bye, Stephan Am Freitag, 1.
