If i send an invalid emailaddress via SMTP to gmail, after mailFrom and rcptTo. If rcptTo address is invalid, gmail sends 550 User not found. But yahoo is sending user not found only after DATA part is send. Is there any way to find email validity before DATA part
Validating user after rcpto send is not mandatory. It is up to developers choice whether to validate user before DATA part or after. Please refer to this https://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/1123/92.htm
If you want to validate user before DATA, you can use third party email validators and clean your contact list and then send for only validate users

Community,
If a user wants to register with your website, and you want to make sure the user’s email actually exists and is being used, the practice has been to create code that sends a message to the user’s email.
Nowadays, most smtp servers require authentication to accept mail. Since u cannot know your user’s email address in advance, I would like the others to enlighten me on how they are doing their email address verification.
I already know how to authenticate my message-sending application with yahoo, (and may be gmail) but how do you verify user email in the case of unknown smtp servers at which your user might have an email address ????
I've configured SMTP on BW4HANA.
Everything works correctly only if the user that send the email have a certain email setted in SU01 (Example: testemail#test.com), if an user, with a personal email setted in SU01, try to send an email receive an error like "...not authorized to send as...".
What i want is that every user have their own personal email setted in SU01 but when they send an email this will be send using testemail#test.com. Basically i want that every email will be send with testemail#test.com address even if the user that send the email have another email setted in SU01. it's possible ? how ? can the parameter SMTP_TECH_SENDER help in this ?
When someone signs up they receive an email with a link they need to click to verify their email. The email comes from no_reply#domain.com
So far all clients receive this email with the exception of clients using their own domain with Office365. With these clients it's not an issue of emails going to spam - they don't receive anything at all in either their spam or their inbox.
The email is sent from a domain that uses Google Business for email.
Any ideas how to solve this issue?
I should add that if the email is forwarded manually, it does come through, just not when automatically sent.
Try to send a sample of an email and receive a notice that the Marketo send test failed.
There are two token-related reasons that Send Sample may fail:
You may have an invalid value for a token in your email. If there is an incorrect token value, the send sample will not work.
Example: If you have the token for first name written like this {{lead.FirstName:default=Hello}}, when you try to approve the email Marketo will let you know that the token value is incorrect. The correct token value is {{lead.First Name:default=Hello}}. For this example if you change the token value to {{lead.First Name:default=Hello}}, Marketo will allow you to approve the email and it will allow you to do a send sample.
You may have a token in the From or Reply-To line that is not populating with an email address
Example: If you have a token in the Reply-To like this one, {{lead.Email Address:default=edit me}}, then the Send Sample using the default will have "edit me" in the Reply-To, which is not an email address. Marketo cannot send an email without a Reply-To email address, so the Send Sample will fail.
If any of the above does not apply, run the following tests and provide the information to Marketo Support
Clone the email in question and test to send as a sample
Create a new email and test to send as a sample
Send the email via a live campaign or a single flow step to a test lead
When sending an email, is there a way to find out:
User has received the email (displayed in user's inbox).
User has read (and at what time) the email.
If it's not possible, what prevents it from finding out? What is the route an email message follows from sender to receiver.
When you send an email, the email is transferred through a series of servers using SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Once the email reaches it's destination it is stored into the recipients directory. To retrieve and read the email, the recipient uses and email client like Outlook to that connects to the server via IMAP/POP3 which tells them how many new emails they have and delivers each message to the client. In order to get this information, the user must provide their credentials.
So, in order to get this information you would need to know the imap/pop3 server(s) for the recipient's domain, as well as the recipient's login credentials (which would give you full access to the recipients email account). Basically, this is not possible.
This article gives a nice simple overview of how email gets sent over the internet.
You can, and you do not need the credentials as mentioned in the selected answer.
Lets imagine you are using apache and php + mysql.
You send person x an email,
In the email you have an embedded image (your logo) which resides on your server.
the url of the logo in the email, points to a file on your server:
example.com/logo.png?userRelatedId which is a php file.
with an htaccess (apache) you can state that logo.png gets executed with php and in fact forwards a real image and correct mimetype but before that identifies userRelatedId, and saves in your database with the time the file was accessed,
Meaning the email was read by person x and the time which the logo was accessed (email was looked at).
