asp_cdo thread: Can CDONTS deal with "bounce" messages?


Message #1 by "Charlie Darling" <cdarling@c...> on Thu, 15 Jun 2000 16:23:43
I've written an ASP program that calls CDONTS to send an e-mail newsletter 

to a small list of subscribers. Works great.



The only problem is that when there's a bad e-mail address in the list, I 

never find out about it. I've got a valid address in .From, but no "bounce" 

messages ever arrive.



My Web host (Interland.net) isn't sure (1) whether IIS can receive mail and 

(2) if it did, whether it would then send the bounce message along to the 

.From address.



What do you think? 



Thanks, 



Charlie

I had a similar problem, I believe that the 'bad' messages are bounced

back to the mail server that sent them, not to the 'From' address in the

script.
