1936.0. "Multiple addresses and returned error status codes" by FUTURS::CROSSLEY (For internal use only) Fri Apr 11 1997 06:23

    
    Hi Folks,
    
    we're trying to use MAIL$SEND_MAIL_ADDRESS using PASCAL to build a list of 
    all required mail addresses.
    
    IF one or more of these mail addresses is invalid, is there any way to
    get the individual status codes back for each attempted mail address.
    
    for example, VMS provides the following :-
    
    
    MAIL> mail
    To:     muscle::build, chefs::crossley_i, chest::hairy
    %MAIL-E-LOGLINK, error creating network link to node MUSCLE
    -SYSTEM-F-NOSUCHNODE, remote node is unknown
    %MAIL-E-NOSUCHUSR, no such user HAIRY at node DEC:.SBP.CHEST
    Do you want to send anyway (Y/N, default is N)? n
    
    
    What I'd like to be able to trap are NOSUCHUSER and LOGLINK etc....
    
    The only other way would be to send to each mail address individualy.
    
    Regards,
    Ian.
    
    

    
    Without verifying in the book, I assume you must establish 
    a signal handler and stop inhinitting mail to signal errors.
    
    Hein.
