Email Delivery Status Reports

Greetings,
We are comtemplating emabarking on a project and I was needing to get some feedback, ideas or suggestions.
What we have is a Java Web App that uses the JavaMail API to send out emails to several users. It's sort of like a newsletter type mailing app. We'll, we'd like to get some reporting for these emailings.
We are thinking of possibly using DSN's to get delviery status of messages, but we are not sure exactly how or if this is the best way.
Has/is anyone doing something similar, and if so, and advice? I'm not real ure how we should go about handling the DSN's, would we have the DSN's all come back to a certain mailbox, then connect via JavaMail to the mailbox and parse the email from there, or is there a better method?
Thanks for any help in advance!

Ok, well, this reporting is not neccesarily for reading as much as wether the email made it to thier mailbox or not. So, legal/social implications aside, would the DSN's not be a way for us to go and if so, would perhaps parsing the SMTP logs, or parsing bounce back emails be a better way?
Essentuially we want to know if and email get's a "sent" status, or if there are error becuase the user doesn't exists, or a mailbox is full,etc...
However, we want to report for particular messages sent, not for everything. The problems we face is that using raw smtp logs, we can't differentiate very easily (if at all) wether it was newsletter A or Newsleter B that failed and provide a report for it. That's how the DSN's came into play, becuase we could actually see what particular mailing it was and report for that.
So, is there a better way, using perhaps a certain MTA/logging format or bounces, or is the DSN the best way to get granular reporting?
Thanks!!

For this, you need to answer the following:-
a) where the customer required date is being captured in sale order ? Is it Requested Delivery Date ??
b) If it is RDD, will there be any manual change in that ?? If so, how will you track the changes
I feel, for the above questions, you have to develop a zee table where you need to capture the original delivery date and the change date so that you can compare this with the actual despatch date.
There is no standard report to make use of the requirement what you had narrated.

Sales order delivery status report

Hi,
i have to give a report on sales order delivery status report which displays the sales order information and delivery status details. and also please let me know the tables.
thanking you in advance.

Hi,
For the document header and document items, VBAK and VBAP, you can find the delivery status in the table VBUK and VBUP respectively.
The fields are VBUK-LFSTK
In VBUP, the field is VBUP-LFSTA which can take values, null, A, B, C for not relevant, Not yet processed,Partially processed and Completely processed
Based on this, you can write your report.
Hope this helps. You can reward if this helps.

Delivery status notifications Code Samples

Hi,
I'm looking for some code samples on how to use javamail Delivery status notifications.
Please, are there any code samples?
ngocthan

I accept that the recipient must actually confirm receipt but until very recently I could request a delivery status report and would get confirmation that an email had been delivered to the intended server or not as the case may be. Suddenly these confirmations have stopped and I think it unlikely that all the receiving servers have simultaneously been programmed not to send delivery status confirmation. Confirmation of delivery to the receiving server is important, sometimes vital, in my work to demonstrate that non-receipt is a problem at the receiving end and that a document or email was actually sent.

Need a report on delivery status and response status for capaign recipients

hi, i need to make a report on delivery status and response status for capaign recipients but cannot find them in the campaign subject area nor the campaign response subject area, any idea?
thanks

Correct the Campaign Response History is the report you are looking for. The fields that may be helpful to you are.
Response status - This shows message opened, click-thru's, opt outs etc
Delivery status - Hard bounce, soft bounce etc
To get more details from the above results add the following.
Response type - This will show the URL that was clicked on a click-thru in case you have multiple links tracked in one email. It will also show the reason for hard bounces. This is important because not all hard bounces will trigger the "Never Email" flag to be checked. This occurs for emails with the bounce statuses of Bad Address,
Address Moved or Unknown Address only.

I am receiving emails fine but people sending emails are getting "This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification."

So people sending me emails are getting this notification even though I am getting all of their emails.

Delivery status of an Email

Hi Guys,
We are developing a Email engine using Oracle. Can any one of you guys help us on this problem.
How do I get the delivery status of an email. If I send an email from Oralce, I wish to know the delivery status of that particular email.
Thanks for all of you in advance
r@m@

I assume that if the e-mail server gives no errors, then at lest the e-mail reached the e-mail server. How you watch it from there is a very good question, I have no idea.

Can BPEL Email/SMS activity get delivery status from UMS???

While implementing to send SMS/Email using BPEL service, does BPEL service gets delivery status back from UMS? If yes, how?
Below UMS documentation indicates UMS makes delivery status available to application.
Robust message delivery: UMS keeps track of delivery status information provided by messaging gateways, and makes this information available to applications so that they can respond to a failed delivery. Or, applications can specify one or more failover addresses for a message in case delivery to the initial address fails. Using the failover capability of UMS frees application developers from having to implement complicated retry logic.
Thanks In Advance
Priyadarshi

Hi Priya,
In our case, with respect to the SMS interface, whatever SMS server that we are using should have a specific set of documentation listed with respect to the different status of the message delivery. We have handled that using the java embedding activity and then updated the DB records accordingly.
Coming to the Email services, am not completely sure if there is one. However we can monitor the same using the EM console itself.
Thanks,
Deepak.

Message delievery status report of specific email

Hi,
I am using Exchange 2010 with sp3. My audit group require to message track of one email address.Means all the messages send or receive from this email ID will be track with date, time and delivery status (Send,Receive, Failure and Read).
Is their any power shell command or script to do that.
Thanks.

Hi,
Agreed. We can enable message tracking and retrieve related information via searching message tracking log. However, we don't get the status of READ, event id just offer "BADMAIL, DELIVER, DSN, EXPAND, FAIL, POISONMESSAGE, RECEIVE, REDIRECT, RESOLVE, SEND,
SUBMIT, and TRANSFER", there is no "READ".
Here is an article about the description of Message Tracking Log Fields for your reference.
Description of Message Tracking Log Fields
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc539064.aspx
Generally, to know whether recipients have read emails, users can request a read receipt when send emails. I'm afraid there is no way to get the READ status using a command.

Nokia lumia sms status report or delivery report

I bought a lumia 620 just two days back.Mainly what made buy a nokia lumia 620 rather than Htc 8s is that some OEM features..which only Nokia and Sony provides,like sms,mms delivery....out going call waiting notification (may be called gsm supplimentary services).I went for Nokia cause their good audio quality.But what make me regret that what my Nokia 1202 can do,that the new sophisticated lumia cant do.Like sms status report on nokia 1202 when swicthed "on" ,and it gets the delivery report its updated the message item in the sent box with a tick mark .That what i expected from my nokia,which should change the color of the bubble on the message thread,but sadly it deosnt do that.It just give "message delivered to 0000000" in a separate thread in my inbox,where that old tiny 1202 shows "message delivered to BOB". In lumia the thing is happening is that a network code were send like " *n*h hello" . where recepient get only the "hello" and sender get a a message "message delivered to 0000000".What happened to nokia programmer ??why are they implementing something so primitive,where they used to put those sophisticated code on those simple 1202's.

Delivery Status Notification not updating properly??????

Hi All,
Am working on in Java Mail API. My application mainly used for sending automated e-mails to Outlook and I have to update the status of that e-mail whether that e-mail has been sent or not, by using DSN(Delivery Status Notification). Here we are using SMTP exchange server and POP3.
Below lines explain you how we updating the status of that e-mail status:
When receipient got automated e-mails from our application, one Delivery Receipt will goes to our Outlook mailbox(which gets only the delivery,read receipt status e-mail from that receipients). After they read that e-mail one Read Receipt will goes to that same mail box. Here we have one Java program which reads that mailbox using POP3. While reading that mailbox we are updating that status of the e-mail using some logics.
Perfectly I can able to update these DSN status in report in my developement environment(here we are using our own configured exchage server). Am using RFC822 to do this.
following sample code snippet:
StringBuffer dsn = new StringBuffer();
dsn.append("SUCCESS,FAILURE,DELAY ORCPT=rfc822;");
dsn.append(SrvObj.getFromEmailId().trim());
props.put("mail.smtp.dsn.notify", dsn);
session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);But while we are using that same in our live application its not worked,because this entire process goes to another exchange server.Sometimes we are getting delivery and read receipt status for some e-mail ids. But some e-mail ids we are not able to get that status. And we have enabled the delivery and read receipt options in all the outlook e-mail ids. Exchange server is also conf

Nothing guarantees that you'll get a DSN or MSN.
The server that ultimately delivers the email might not support DSNs or might be configured not to send them.
The mail reader used to read the message might not support MSNs or the user might choose not to allow them to be sent.
Unless you have control over all the mail servers and mail readers being used, you can't depend on getting DSNs or MSNs.

Groupwise Delivery Status Message

Hi
I hope someone can help me ... The Boss has asked me to setup and delivery notification message on all incoming emails
I have enabled DSN in the Gwia Properties
But the message only shows
The message that you sent was delivered to the following:
Information about your message:
With no information please can someone help me
So the correct info is displayed
Regards
Cliff

This has NOTHING to do with DSN. The Outbound delivery status is
completely and totally a different feature. DSN is only relevant
GW originator ===> somewhereelse supporting DSN
not
someone else ===> gw
Since you first reported this issue a year ago, I assume you opened an SR?
