Unnoticed mail delivery failures #237

Open SAuroux opened 8 years ago

SAuroux commented 8 years ago

When using the built-in mailing feature, it remains completely unnoticed if a mail could actually be delivered or not. Today for example, we sent a mail manually, only to notice that there was an obvious typo in a mail address. so that we realized that all the previous mails through the system were obviously not delivered either.

Would it be possible to forward possible mail delivery failures to the organizer mail address?

Yea, I'm aware of this problem. If people register with a wrong email address, they wont receive email. I agree that it would be nice for this to be more visible (you can't see it, but I can usually see it, at least if it's going to a non-existing email address... I suppose sometimes it just goes to the wrong person, if the typo is actually a valid email address).

I haven't thought about it enough yet to say what the best approach would be. I actually might want to switch email providers because the way I currently send emails also often has problems with hotmail addresses (I think I'm on some kind of spam list or something, so they get rejected).
