2153.0. "Wish: Return orig msg on reject" by DV780::BAILEYR (OICU812!) Mon Jan 25 1993 22:14

It would be nice if ALL-IN-1 would return the entire contents of a rejected 
mail msg back to the originator via the use of a "switch" - perhaps a 
logical (OA$MTI_RET_CONTENTS).  Since ALL-IN-1 accounts are easily 
accessible from more and more mailers and the Internet, this would be a 
handy feature.

Extracted from NOTE 1471.1 of the FORTY2::MAILBUS conference:

>However, if it's ALL-IN-1 which issues the non-delivery then it will never 
>return the contents. ALL-IN-1's delivery mechanism was designed before X.400 
>was defined, so decisions then were taken on pragmatic rather than 'legal' 
>grounds. So if you send to <misprint @a1@node> you cannot get your content 
>returned.
>
>ALL-IN-1 is always undergoing 'improvement' so I'm sure they'd be delighted to 
>hear any request for better functionality!

Consider this such a request.

2153.1A switch is a good idea for sure!IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeTue Jan 26 1993 11:417
    It's good that ytou suggested this should be switchable. Perhaps it
    should also be switchable on a per message basis, since with the
    increasing tendency for people to send huge PostScript files around,
    andperhaps soon images too, returning the whole lot when it fails is a
    bit expensive in network traffic.
