Undeliverable Mail

It is common for mail to be sent to a domain that is either incorrectly addressed or deliberately sent to a random user name. Local Domains allow the administrator to determine what action should be taken with incorrectly addressed mail.

Available options

  1. Reject the message and send a customised response

  2. Send the message to the postmaster

  3. Send the message to the postmaster as an attachment

  4. Forward the message to the internet

  5. Forward the message to another address

Note:

Forward the message to the internet (Option 4) will return the message to the internet as if it were being sent from your server. This has the potential to cause a loop as your ISP may deliver the message back to FTGate. This option should be used with caution.

 

Note:

If the Undeliverable Mail action is set to Reject, and mail is delivered to the server using SMTP, then the message will be rejected by the SMTP server and the rejection message will not be sent. The message sent to the originator will depend on the settings of the server sending to FTGate over which you have no control.
