Not being told of failed emails

[margecc]

I'm sure I've just missed something, but when an email failed, normally due to an incorrect email address, we don't receive any sort of failure notice. Have a missed a setting somewhere?

Hi there,

Are you referring to sending out emails to your customers via your Zencart admin ?

A little more information would certainly help.

When a customer places an order, it sends them an order confirmation / invoice. Well if their email address is incorrect then it just vanishes into thin air. We don't get any sort of "delivery failure" notification, like you would if you sent from a standard email program. Same thing happens when we send our newsletters etc.

Does that make sense? I'm horrible at explaining myself.

It may depend on the customer's email server setup. I have mine set up to send mail sent to addresses that don't exist on that domain to what Spam Assassin calls 'black hole'. No message is returned to the sender.
