How are E. Mails delivered? Some are returned from 'DAEMON', although addresses are correct.?

Question

It is most annoying when the E. Mail address is correct and still in use.

Answer 1

Mailer Daemon indicates that the message is undeliverable.This usually means misspelt or non existent.

Answer 2

basically, when you send an email, the relevant mail server is contacted to see if they have the address that you mentioned

for example, if a mail is sent to "[e-mail]", then the yahoo mail server is contacted and asked if they know someone called "test". The yahoo mail server then looks up its database and checks if indeed there is someone called test and then delivers the mail to them. A DAEMON is essentially a program that runs in the mail server and handles the answers to the questions, we asked.

In this whole process, a number of things can go wrong. Namely, test may not exist, or the server is busy (this is not too often) etc.
It is then the responsibility of the daemon to tell you that something went wrong.

All I can say is, if you are sure that the mail id is correct, you need to look through what the DAEMON is telling you to understand what went wrong. Some mail servers return emails when the recepient has overrun the space allocated to him/her.

This is obviously a simplistic answer but I hope this helps!

Answer 3

Sending emails using Incredimail may result in your emails being mistaken for spam and not forwarded on to their destination. If you are experiencing this problem then try uninstalling Incredimail and try to send the email again.

Getting an email from "MAILER-DAEMON" means that an email you sent was not able to reach its intended destination..




The MAILER DAEMON reply provides information detailing why the email failed. There are a number of reasons for why you may receive this message delivery failure normally included within the delivery failure message.

The most common reason for this message is because the email address you typed in could not be found so you should check the spelling and format of the email address and then resend the mail.
Otherwise, the mailbox you are trying to contact is already full
Sometimes, this message can occur because the mailbox you are trying to contact has a rule implemented on it which can cause repetitive looping such as incorrect forwarding or an automatic reply set wrongly. This will be indicated in the mail delivery failure by an error: Message looping detected. In order to resolve this problem the person you are trying to contact needs to remove any invalid rules on the mailbox.
If you receive this message repetitively on all emails you are trying to send forward the mail delivery and the headers to Tiscali Customer Services using the Contact Us form

if mailer daemon occurs.. i means either your email address is wrong or the person must have deleted his email id...
An e-mail message has always been nothing more than a simple text message -- a piece of text sent to a recipient. In the beginning and even today, e-mail messages tend to be short pieces of text, although the ability to add attachments now makes many e-mail messages quite long. Even with attachments, however, e-mail messages continue to be text messages -- we'll see why when we get to the section on attachments.
Many people use well-known stand-alone clients like Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora or Pegasus. People who subscribe to free e-mail services like Hotmail or Yahoo use an e-mail client that appears in a Web page. If you are an AOL customer, you use AOL's e-mail reader. No matter which type of client you are using, it generally does four things:
It shows you a list of all of the messages in your mailbox by displaying the message headers. The header shows you who sent the mail, the subject of the mail and may also show the time and date of the message and the message size.
It lets you select a message header and read the body of the e-mail message.
It lets you create new messages and send them. You type in the e-mail address of the recipient and the subject for the message, and then type the body of the message.
Most e-mail clients also let you add attachments to messages you send and save the attachments from messages you receive.
The simplest possible e-mail server would work something like this:
It would have a list of e-mail accounts, with one account for each person who can receive e-mail on the server. My account name might be mbrain, John Smith's might be jsmith, and so on.

It would have a text file for each account in the list. So the server would have a text file in its directory named MBRAIN.TXT, another named JSMITH.TXT, and so on.

If someone wanted to send me a message, the person would compose a text message ("Marshall, Can we have lunch Monday? John") in an e-mail client, and indicate that the message should go to mbrain. When the person presses the Send button, the e-mail client would connect to the e-mail server and pass to the server the name of the recipient (mbrain), the name of the sender (jsmith) and the body of the message.

The server would format those pieces of information and append them to the bottom of the MBRAIN.TXT file. The entry in the file might look like this:

From: jsmith
To: mbrain
Marshall,
Can we have lunch Monday?
John
There are several other pieces of information that the server might save into the file, like the time and date of receipt and a subject line; but overall, you can see that this is an extremely simple process.

As other people sent mail to mbrain, the server would simply append those messages to the bottom of the file in the order that they arrived. The text file would accumulate a series of five or 10 messages, and eventually I would log in to read them. When I wanted to look at my e-mail, my e-mail client would connect to the server machine. In the simplest possible system, it would:
Ask the server to send a copy of the MBRAIN.TXT file
Ask the server to erase and reset the MBRAIN.TXT file
Save the MBRAIN.TXT file on my local machine
Parse the file into the separate messages (using the word "From:" as the separator)
Show me all of the message headers in a list
