Re: Occasional bounced POP email

You are experiencing one reason why people who are serious about email
avoid pop mail. SMTP is generally more reliable. I don't have answers
for your problem though as I do not have any accounts doing pop
collection. I do know at home I use pop and Outlook. Sometimes I have
to use the wen interface to delete a corrupt email so my Outlook can
collect the good email. Maybe the message sent is corrupt and Exchange
is giving up on it. When resent it comes the second time properly, no
corruption.

Hi,

SBS 2003 R2 - email collected by exchange using the POP connector.
I've had a couple of cases of emails being bounced recently for no apparent
reason.
One I traced through the logs - and can see it made it as far as exchange
and then the postmaster bounced it.
Strange thing is - when it was sent again it came through fine ?
It did have a medium sized attachment (c. 5MB) - but thats well within all
the limits allowed.

2 questions:

1) I (or the administrator) are getting no notification of these bounces -
how can I set it so I can at least get copied into the NDRs - I have
suspicions that it might be happening on other occasions.
2) Any ideas why this might be happening / how I can explore further - I've
increased the logging on POP3 connector and asked for a copy of the NDR ?

Many Thanks
James
