RE: What happens to bounced e-mails?

Any chance of the mail still existing anywhere depends on how your WAP
middleware you're using to send the mail deals with being rejected. If it
stores the failed mails somewhere (ie: ColdFusion dumps all failed emails
into the /mail/undelivr folder of it's root dir, Lasso5 in the mail queue
DB), then you need to check there for the mail file.

If you were using Lasso3.X to the the mailing, I'd lean towards them falling
into the void. I'm fairly certain it just dumps the mail to the server and
has no means to handle things if the server rejects the attempt beyond
tossing an error message in the log.

Can anyone shed some light on this? We had important e-mails disappear, and
I'd like to find them. Is there any way to find them on my WT machine?

TIA!
