Is there a log of all forwarded emails?

Would love to see all emails forwarded in some UI. And possibly resent any failed attempt.

w3guy we log all incoming and outgoing mail activity, but since the logs are system-wide we can't give you access to them. If you have a specific concern about a particular message then please email our support team with the details so that we can look into it. We'll need to know the sender address, recipient address, and the date and time (with time zone) that the message was sent.

Regarding resending failed attempts, the mail server handles that automatically.

Regarding resending failed attempts, the mail server handles that automatically.

That is exactly my actual concern. Can you expand on this? How many attempts before an email is dropped?

And do I get a notification when an email fails to be forwarded after a number of attempts?

w3guy it depends on the type of failure and is controlled by the recipient mail server:

If the recipient server returns an error code that indicates a permanent failure then we don't reattempt the forwarding and the message will bounce back to the original sender.
If the recipient server returns an error code that indicates a temporary failure then we defer the message and re-attempt forwarding for up to 5 days prior to bouncing the message back to the original sender.

In either case, the bounce goes to the original sender. That's the only notification that is generated.
