how to get delivery status notification

[swapnel surade]

hi all,

when I send mails, I want to check the status of the each mail.

can I get DSN (delivery status notification) for each mail I send.....
In javamail api com.sun.mail.dsn package provides 3 classes as
DeliveryStatus
MessageHeaders
MultipartReport

how to use these classes (I'm unable to get any info about these classes in tutorials)


thanks.

You can ask for one. But you can't expect to get any, as it's optional for mail agents to send DSNs. Many mail agents allow the user to specify whether they want to send DSNs, either on a per-message basis or as a configuration option which applies to all messages.

is anyone know how to use

DeliveryStatus
MessageHeaders
MultipartReport

these classe to get the Delivery status for a mail.


thanks.

The javadocs of the com.sun.mail classes can be found in the JavaMail download. Be sure to read the section on "DSN Support" in the NOTES.txt file that comes with the download.

Also see this JavaMail FAQ entry.

i need to get DSN (delivery status notification) for each mail I send.

[Ulf Dittmer]

I understand, and the material linked above describes how to go about that using JavaMail. Was there anything in particular you didn't understand about that? What have you tried so far?

Of course, as the JavaMail FAQ points out, not all servers support DSNs, in which case you have to go about the problem in the ways mentioned in the other thread where you asked about this.

I see that you now posted to www.java-forums.org as well, once again without noting the multiple cross-postings; I've just lost interest in helping you any further. Good luck.

Try this code.

            pp.setProperty("mail.smtp.dsn.notify","FAILURE ORCPT=rfc822;");
		     pp.setProperty("mail.smtp.dsn.ret", "FULL");

Mail servers may swallow un-deliverable mail in order to thwart spammers and phishers.

how this code wil work? how do it get delivery notice?

Mail server will take care of sending notification for failed mails.

[Apreet Singh]

if other things not working, create log entry of email send attempt and have bcc to a designated id. Matching of data can be done to have delivery status. May not be advisable if high load system as this will double the number of emails being sent

Not foolproof.
