Delay emails not always being sent

Problem reported by John Quest - 9/12/2024 at 9:02 AM

Resolved

Sticky

I have discovered a bug in the way Smartermail deals with delay notifications.

There is some confusion within Smartermail whether this needs to be treated as a bug or as a idea/feature request.

What is happening (and is happening a lot more in today's environment with so many parked domains) is that when an outgoing email is attempted to be sent, a MX lookup is done and if none is found then delivery is attempted to an A record. IF that A record connection TIMEOUT then the delay notification is NEVER sent, per the configured number of tries.

This is considered a bug in the way Smartermail handles this. A delivery attempt is a delivery attempt. A failed delivery attempt must be counted as a failed delivery attempt regardless of why.

UPDATE: This was indeed confirmed as a different bug when it involves the server being configured as a gateway for another server, such as Exchange.
