I thought that time this is because his web interface is really old and I advised them to update it, May the new versions be better and it can show all emails. --- On Mon, 11/2/09, Erwin Hoffmann <feh [at] fehcom> wrote: From: Erwin Hoffmann <feh [at] fehcom> Subject: Re: Delayed delivery To: "MOHAMED AHMED" <f_a_f12001 [at] yahoo> Cc: "qmail List" <qmail [at] list> Date: Monday, November 2, 2009, 3:24 PM Hi, --On Montag, November 02, 2009 13:34:56 +0100 Markus Stumpf <lists-qmail [at] maexotic> wrote: > On Mon, Nov 02, 2009 at 12:54:30AM -0800, MOHAMED AHMED wrote: >> If my logs said some thing like this, >> @400000004aed9e7f1230e9ec delivery 7926: success: >> 209.85.221.23_accepted_message./Remote_host_said:_250_2.0.0_OK_125708658 >> 1_31si6336125qyk.19/ -This really means the recipient server really >> accepted the message? > > Yes ... from the answer it looks like the receiving server provides a > timestamp (1257086581) and also an internal message-id (31si6336125qyk.19) > for reference. > >> But the recipient insisted he didn't get the message, >> We tried with another message and got the same result. > > Maybe the recipient wants to have a look at his Google Spam Folder? > Or he automatically sorted it into some other folder (eg with a regex > pattern?). Recently I run into the same trap: Some automtic (PHP/Java) mail programs don't generate a valid email header. In particular, they 'forget' to include the 'Date:' header. Depending on the mail client of the targeted user, the mail is listed at the very first line in the inbox (if sorted by date); thus it seems, there was no mail received. In particular, if the inbox is very large (my has currently about 180 unsorted entries), you simply miss this mail. regards. --eh. > > \Maex > Dr. Erwin Hoffmann | FEHCom | http://www.fehcom.de/
