Re: Reg: Delivery Status for Sending Email using SNDDST

Is it possible to get the delivery status for the email sent using SNDDST in runtime?

Not directly. Snddst submits the stuff to send to MSF or SMTP for delivery and returns control to it's caller.

I know we can configure a new email id to receive the delivery status. Where we can manually look into the Delivery status of the mails which sent using SMTP.

But is there any way in RPG code we can determine in runtime about the delivery status once we executed SNDDST command?

What exactly are you referring to? The *technical* delivery status (aka, mail has been sent to the next SMTP host in a chain successfully) or the "user has read the mail" status?

The former can be achieved by looking at the log/journal of MSF/SMTP, as far as I remember. Have a look into the documentation for these programs. The latter is most likely not working anyway, because most Mail User Agents don't care for reporting back: This could be easily exploited by spammers to verify if an email address is not only valid but also read by someone.
