Howto Apple Mail and Delivery Status Notifications (DSN) (RFC1891)

*how can i persuade mail.app to send a mail with DSN?*
*DSN, not MDN* - I am not looking for this:
# defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Disposition-Notification-To" = "[email protected]"}'
I'd need to change i.e. the "rcpt to" to behave like this:
*RCPT TO:<[email protected]> NOTIFY=SUCCESS*
DSN - RFC1891: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1891.txt
MDN - RFC2298: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2298.txt
Thank you for your inputs.

Thank you Austin for your input.
Yes, redirecting everyhting from apple mail through some custom postfix would possibly be one solution.
One could use some perl script hackish stuff to aquire DSN functionality.
But that's not really what i'm looking for.
I'm looking for the less hackish solution.
os x server's postfix supports DSN by default.
I wish to have mail.app support DSN as well. Be it by some cast like "defaults write com.apple.mail '?dsn notify=success,delay,failure,never?'".
Or even configurable by gui.
Best would be to be able to request dsn when composing a new mail.
As for:
- I don't want any notifications for this receipient --> never.
- I want to know if the mail server on the receipient side accepted the mail --> success.
- I want to get lots of messages --> success,delay,failure.

  • How can I make the return receipt and deliver status notification work ?y

    I have checked marked "return receipt" and "delivery status notification" when doing emails.
    Doesn't seem to be working.
    Please help

    are they not working, or has the recipient simply declined to send them? That is the real question. Sending mail to yourself rarely triggers the return receipt

  • Apple Mail and Google Apps (personal domain) - 554 554 Denied Mail Delivery Subsystem (Intermittent Failure)

    Hello,
    I am having problems with my Apple Mail and Google Apps and I don't know what to do.  I have been using apple mail with google apps for a few months now with no complications.  In the last week I have recieved a handful of messages from the Mail Delivery Subsystem citing error "554 554 Denied". I know that the emails I have tried to send to are real emails and are entered correctly. I tried to send directly from google apps to one of these people today and it worked so I assume the problem is with Apple Mail, or is intermittent. Adding to my frustration is that it works with some people and not with others so it's hard for me to see exactly what is causing the problem.
    Any ideas?
    I'll include a copy of one of the Mail Delivery Subsystem emails I recieved - excluding the email address and message body.
    Thanks for your help!

  • 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.

  • Edit subject for "Delivery Status Notification Failure"-messages

    We have an Ironport c160 and I wonder if it is possible to edit the subject for the the automatic reply email instead of Delivery Status Notification Failure? We have a content management system (CMS) and I would like to have the ticket number in the subject, just the way it does when the reply is from our internal Exchange server. For example Undeliverble message case #1234-1234567 instead of Delivery Status Notification Failure.
    Regards,
    Peter Bengtslin

    Sounds like someone is spoofing spam from your e-mail address. They do not need to have access to your account. Spammers nearly always put a fake address on the To line, and sometimes they pick an address from their databases as that "fake." So they're putting your address on a fake To line in their e-mails and you're getting the bounces.
    It could be possible that they have hacked your e-mail account, and to protect against that possibility you should change the password on that account. However, this is probably not what has happened.
    Note that this has absolutely nothing to do with your Mac, and there are no viruses for the Mac and only a handful of very rare trojans. See my [Mac Virus guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/macvirus> for more details.

  • Apple Mail and GoogleMail via IMAP

    Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
    _*Apple Mail and GoogleMail via IMAP*_
    As posts concerning the setup of Apple Mail for GoogleMail IMAP access become more frequent on Apple Discussions, I decided to collect some of the most asked-for info in one place. The following hints are intended to provide enough info for anyone who wants to get started with Google Mail IMAP and Mail.app.
    As you might have noticed already, GoogleMail behaves differently from other IMAP accounts in some respects. One of the underlying reasons is its use of labels instead of folders (i.e. instead of moving messages to different folders – like e.g. Private and Work – in order to establish some order, rather there are labels tagged to the messages). Because of this a particular setup of Apple’s Mail client is required.
    *Activating IMAP for Google Mail*
    If you haven’t activated access via IMAP for Google Mail already, follow the instructions given by Google [here|http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695&topic=13294]. It boils down to this:
    1) Sign in to Gmail.
    2) Click "Settings" at the top of any Gmail page,
    3) click "Forwarding and POP/IMAP",
    4) select "Enable IMAP".
    5) Click "Save Changes".
    *Creating a new account in Apple Mail*
    To add a Google Mail IMAP account in Mail.app, go to File > Add Account. A wizard will open which prompts you to insert your Name, the eMail-address of the new account and the password. Don’t use the option for automatic configuration if it’s available. Info on what to type into the different fields can be obtained from Google [here|http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799&topic=12814]. The most important are:
    1) Incoming Server: imap.gmail.com, port 993 (using SSL)
    2) Outgoing Server: smtp.gmail.com, port 465 or 587 (using SSL)
    3) Your account name is your full email address including "@gmail.com" (without the quotation marks)
    *Configuring the Google Mail account in Apple Mail*
    After you have added your Google Mail IMAP account to Mail.app, you’ll find a section for Google Mail in Mail.app’s sidebar with subfolders like "All Mail" (which has in turn several subfolders) and folders for each label you created with GoogleMail. Now you have to configure the account properly. Despite what [Google recommends|http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892&topic=1281 4], I found the following settings to work best for me.
    In the sidebar, navigate to the subfolders Trash/Sent/Drafts/Junk of "Google Mail" (the one with the white folder icon instead of a blue one) in turn and go to "Mailbox" menu > "Use this mailbox for..." > Trash/Sent/Drafts/Junk respectively. Afterwards these folders show up as subfolders to the main Trash/Sent/Drafts/Junk folders in the sidebar (and at the same time disappear from the GMail section). Among others this step is necessary because of Google Mail’s implementation of labels. E.g., as Google states [here|http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892&topic=12814]:
    Messages that are deleted from an IMAP folder (...) only have that label removed and still exist in All Mail
    So if you want to delete a message you have to set the option to "Use this mailbox for… Trash" as described above. Same applies to sent messages etc.
    Furthermore, make sure every checkbox in Mail's Preferences > Accounts > GoogleMail > Behavior is checked . (Some will already and automatically be checked when you apply the option "Use this mailbox for..." as described above).
    *Some basic troubleshooting tips*
    1) If your counter for unread messages in Mail.app doesn’t refresh properly, go to "Mailbox" menu > "Sync all accounts".
    2) If you have set up a Smart Mailbox in Mail e.g. for unread messages and every unread message of Google Mail shows up twice, then add the criterion "Message is not in mailbox" > "All Mail", and set the requirement for messages to comply with ALL conditions (instead of ANY). This is necessary because of every message there is a copy stored in All Mail.
    I hope these info will be regarded as helpful by anyone who tries to get started with Google Mail and experiences some problems on the way.
    The links given were accessible as of September, 3rd, 2008. The setup was tested on a MacBook with OS X 10.5.4 Leopard and Mail 3.4 (928/928.1).
    Good computing.

  • 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.

  • Shipping and delivery status from R/3 to CRM

    Hi all,
    we are creating sales orders in CRM and replicating it to R/3. CRM is the owner of the document.
    Now whenever changes are done to sales order in CRM, the changes are replicated to R/3.
    Let's say the shipping status is updated in R/3. Now the requirement is the changes need to be replicated
    back to CRM.
    I can use the scenario X + Y or X alone. But with X or X + y scenario Once I make changes in R/3 then the
    document owner changes to R/3.  this means any further changes in CRM will not be replicated back to R/3.
    I require all changes from CRM to be replicated to R/3, but from R/3 I require the shipping and delivery status to be replicated back to CRM. How could this be achieved.
    It would be great if you could share the experiences.
    Thanks
    Jothi.

    Hi all,
    I have a similar requirement. Can you please tell me how to go with it?
    The requirement is to send the user status from CRM (where the request is generated) to R3 (where the material is processed).
    The user status of the return order in CRM should be sent real-time to R3. Any updates to the user status in CRM should result in a corresponding change in the user status in R3.  Any updates to the user status in R3 should trigger a corresponding change to the user status in CRM.  All user statuses must be available in BI/BW for reporting and analytical requirements.
    <b>From R3 to CRM</b> – Standard R3-CRM middleware exchanges information between the two systems any time a transaction is created or changed.  At this point the order information is exchanged between the two systems depending on whether the item or the header level data is changed in R3. The development should be able to download the user status at the header & the line item level when the middleware brings down R3 sales transaction data to CRM. For the sake of simplicity the status profile in R3 and CRM will be defined exactly the same therefore we do not need a mapping table between the two systems. This information should also be exchanged in case the line item is deleted / cancelled / rejected.
    <b>The same from CRM to R/3.</b>
    <b>Processing restrictions :</b>
    This should not be transaction, item category or status profile specific so that as and when a new transaction type, item category or a status profile is added it should still be allowed to transfer between the two systems.
    Should be developed as an enhancement to the standard middleware data stream between R3 and CRM.

  • Apple Mail and Gmail IMAP

    With the iPhone coming to Verizon soon, I'd like to move back to Apple Mail from Gmail, but still want to keep Gmail as my source because my domain is setup with Google Apps but mostly because of the unparalleled spam filtering Gmail has. My problem is that even though I've configured Apple Mail exactly as Google recommends (shown below), I still have some issues.
    From the Mail menu, click Preferences > *Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors*
    Drafts:
    Store draft messages on the server > *do NOT check*
    Sent:
    Store sent messages on the server > *do NOT check*
    Junk:
    Store junk messages on the server > checked
    Delete junk messages when > Never
    Trash:
    Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox > *do NOT check*
    Store deleted messages on the server > *do NOT check*
    I want to have true IMAP functionality here, but I'm not getting it. Sent messages work fine...if I send a message, it shows up in Apple Mail in the Sent folder and when I go to Gmail it is also in the Sent folder. BUT...when I delete a message in Apple Mail it goes to the Gmail *All Mail* folder (in Apple Mail and Gmail) and never shows up in the Gmail Trash on either Apple Mail or Gmail...where it should. I've tried changing the settings under *Apple Mail > Trash* but that doesn't fix the problem.
    I realize some of you might be inclined to say "It's Google problem...ask there" but I'm hoping a Gmail user here might have had this same issue before. Even as a dedicated Apple person for many years, I still can't give up Gmail and their spam filtering that Apple Mail can't come close to. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Thanks, Andy. I should have posted a closure statement on this thread as I finally figured everything out. The most frustrating thing is Google's own advice at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892# couldn't further from correct. After many hours of experimenting with settings, I finally came up with the correct ones. In fact, I'm in the process of writing an article about it since there is simply no definitive guidance on the web that I've been able to find in the time I've searched.
    Your comments are on target...everything on the *Behaviors Tab* needs to be checked (excepts Notes) and the *Delete when* settings must be set to Never. But there are a few other things that must be done, including some changes on Gmail Settings before Mail and Gmail will be perfectly synchronous. I'll post the entire solution on this forum when I finish the graphics.

  • Apple Mail and Godaddy Fix

    FINALLY!  So after a couple years of coaching clients through the Godaddy/Apple Mail situation and lately a couple months of not using Apple Mail and using Postbox instead... I decided to give Apple Mail one more try.  I like the interface of it and am just used to it.
    Tried the normal stuff that every one says to do... remove and add the email account, rebuild the mailbox, turn Mail offline/online, made sure I didn't have 25k emails in the inbox.  (Sidenote: Your inbox will stop syncing new emails if you have over 25k emails.  It will only sync the oldest 25k, so as you delete them the newer emails begin to show.
    To the part you all are waiting for!  I am hoping this works for every one, like it did for me.
    Log into Godaddy webmail
    Create a new folder (top level, no parent)
    Move all emails from the inbox into the new folder
    In Apple Mail, click "Get Mail" and wait for it to complete
    Synchronize the mailbox in Apple Mail. You may want to rebuild the box too (I was trying everything as usual)
    Give Apple Mail a little time until your inbox becomes empty
    Send yourself a few test emails and you should see the new emails start showing up
    This worked for me and I really hope you get the same success.  An additional note... I went back into Godaddy Webmail and started moving 500 emails at a time back into my inbox from the folder I created.  Apple Mail is syncing them back in.  When you do this just make sure you do 500 at a time and wait for Apple Mail to see the new 500 before you do more.
    Apple Mail is still hanging on the "trash" folder though.
    The one thing I do not understand though is that I have 3 different Godaddy email accounts.  The other two work fine and one of them actually has over 35,000 total emails (not in the inbox).
    I have had this problem with Snow Leopard, then upgraded to Mavericks, and then Yosemite.... both times hoping it would solve the problem.  It never did.

  • Why are Apple Mail and Addressbook not listed?

    In Support, neither Apple Mail nor Addressbook are listed on OS apps. And if you go to Feedback > Product Feedback, there are 31 apps listed, but Apple Mail and Addressbook are not listed there either. Mac OS X is, so you need to use that for these apps.
    But I think the lack of listing is not so bad, but is indicative that Apple doesn't seem to embrace these apps the way it does it's other OSX built in apps. They are basically good apps. I use them as my default apps along with iCal in order to always be in sync with the latest OSX release/update. I used to use 3rd party PIM apps but then had to always wait until they released their update to be in sync with the latest Apple OS. After awhile I realized the smarter approach was to use Apple's software as much as possible since they will be designed to work with the latest OS upon the release of the latest OS.
    But the built in apps: iCal, Addressbook and Apple Mail, while sufficient, are not full featured robust apps like their 3rd party competitors. I have to assume some this is financial since they are included in the OS where as 3rd party apps cost $40 and up, plus upgrade costs after a certain cycle lifespan.
    Personally, I never want to use a calendar, contact manager or email 3rd party clent again so that I am fully in the Apple family with hardware and software all made to work together.
    If the reason these type apps are not more robust is because Steven didn't feel we needed more, or because there are only so much design and programmng resources Apple can apply to essentially "free" apps, I would welcome a paid for "Pro" version of these apps to pay for more features.
    Example: while iCal and Addressbook sync with all your devices, Apple Mail doesn't. Now that I have a new 2nd computer (MBP), I would REALLY love it if all my folders on the left column were identical on both my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro.
    There are other feature requests I would make, and bet you would too.
    I hope this is helpful to all and to Apple in terms of making their indigenous apps more robust for us, listing them in the OSX apps list in Support and Feedback and embrace them as signature Apple apps fully supported, developed and proud of.
    Just my opinion.

    My Mail syncs, I don't know why yours doesn't. All the folders on the left of my Mail App are identical on all of my Macs and my iPhone.
    In Support, neither Apple Mail nor Addressbook are listed on OS apps.
    Granted, Contacts (No longer AddressBook) is not listed.

    If you have not already, I would shut down (power off) your computer.  Do this to Reset your shuffle

    Start up computer.  Run iTunes.  Connect shuffle.
    If you have added a new USB device recently (since the last time it worked properly), you may want to try disconnecting it to see if that makes any difference.

  • How do we transfer contacts and mails from apple mail and address book to Microsoft outlook on my mac

    How do we transfer contacts and mails from apple mail and address book to Microsoft outlook on my mac

    From Contacts, anyway (the new version of Address Book) you can export to a .abbu file and import then into Outlook. I'm not sure about Mail as I only really use Outlook...
