Did my client get the report I emailed?

Chris Schuld — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 23:13:46 +0000

Question: I emailed a report from the ISN, how do I know it was delivered?

Answer: All reports in the ISN are sent using your own email address. (Your email address can be updated and changed by your administrator by clicking on Administration and then on Users.) All of the reports emailed from the ISN are emailed as if they were coming from your address even though the ISN is the one actually sending the report. If the delivery failed all failure messages will be returned (or sent back) to your email address so they will appear in your inbox (ex. if you send a report to a bad email address you will find a return receipt email in your inbox). Any return receipts you receive will tell you why your report did not get delivered. You will find a lot of other information in there as well but it will list a specific reason your email was not delivered. If you do not receive an email stating the report could not be delivered within five minutes of sending the report there is a 99% chance the email was sent perfectly. (The remaining 1% is comprised of unique situations where maybe the ISN system was told by your customer’s mail server it was too busy to handle the request and it should call back later.)

Hey Mr. Inspector, I didn’t get my report….

If your customer calls and states they did not receive the report and you do not have a return-receipt in your inbox there is a good chance the report was blocked by a SPAM filter on their end. This is not that uncommon; have your customer check their SPAM folder or add your email address to their email whitelist.
