Email Errors
Failed emails can be caused by either temporary failures (450 or 451 codes) or permanent failures. Typical error messages and codes include:
- 05/05/2015 name.name@provider.com MXlookup failed
- 05/05/21 name@name.co.za 450 4.2.0 <name@name.co.za> : Recipient address rejected: Greylisted, see http://postgrey.schweikert.ch/help/name.co.za.html
You can manage failed emails in one of three ways:
- Delete – If, for example, you know the intended recipient did receive the email, delete the failed email by clicking the Delete Failed Email (trashcan) icon next to the relevant failed email.
- Resend – You can normally resolve temporary failures (450/451 ‘Greylisted’ error messages) simply by resending the email.
- Edit and Correct – Permanent failures may be caused by an invalid recipient email address. Choose this option to edit the email address and then resend it (see Change Email Address below).
