Tracking undelivered e-mail
You can use a generic user ID to track problems with undeliverable e-mail. This method can be useful for both e-mail delivery and configuration problems.
Creating the user for directory type: *SDD:
- Select or create a user ID to receive notification. In the character-based interface, type CRTUSRPRF (the Create User Profile command) and press Enter.
- Type WRKDIRE (the Work with Directory Entries command) and press Enter.
- Type 1 to add the user to the system distribution directory.
- Ensure that the Mail Store value is 2 and the Preferred Address value is 3.
- Press F19 (Add Name for SMTP).
- Type NONDELIVERY@localhost.domain as the SMTP address for any POP user.
Creating the user for directory types: *SMTP and *SMTPMSF:
- Select or create a user ID to receive notification. In the character-based interface, type CRTUSRPRF (the Create User Profile command) and press Enter.
- Type ADDUSRSMTP (the Add User SMTP command) and prompt by pressing F4.
- Type in the selected user profile and add NONDELIVERY to the alias field and press enter.
This user receives a copy of the undeliverable e-mail.
Note: The
user ID you enter must be an actual ID so that it can effectively
monitor nondelivery notices. The sender receives a copy of the nondelivery
notice with a list of the recipients who did not receive the e-mail.
