Does PerfectMail send NDR (bounce) messages?

Category: General

Solution ID: 00000169

Summary:

Does PerfectMail send NDR (bounce) messages?

Answer:

PerfectMail does not make use of Non Delivery Reports (NDRs), rather it uses SMTP Rejection Notices. These rejection notices are exchanged during the SMTP mail exchange; when e-mail is being exchanged between mail servers. PerfectMail is able to give notification during the e-mail exchange because it is a Live Filtering Solution. PerfectMail analyzes, filters and responds to e-mail in real time, during the message exchange. This guarantees that PerfectMail sends a rejection notification and that the sending server received it; which is implicitly the correct server to send the notification to. By definition, such messages are not Backscatter.
