Delivery status notification failure hotmail

The frustration of not receiving a delivery status notification from Hotmail!

If you're experiencing issues with delivery status notifications not being sent or received from Hotmail, here are some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the problem:

Check your email settings:

  1. Ensure that your email account is set up correctly in Hotmail.
  2. Check your email settings to ensure that the "Delivery Status Notification" (DSN) option is enabled. You can do this by going to the Hotmail settings page, clicking on "View all settings," and then selecting "More Mail Settings" > "Sending" > "Delivery Status Notification."
  3. Make sure that your email client or device is configured to receive DSNs. If you're using a third-party email client, check its settings to ensure that it's set up to receive DSNs.

Check your spam filter:

  1. Hotmail's spam filter might be blocking the DSNs. Check your spam folder to see if any DSNs are being sent to you.
  2. If you find DSNs in your spam folder, mark them as "Not spam" to train your spam filter to allow them through.

Check your email account's sending limits:

  1. Hotmail has sending limits to prevent abuse. If you've exceeded these limits, you might not receive DSNs.
  2. Check your email account's sending limits by going to the Hotmail settings page, clicking on "View all settings," and then selecting "More Mail Settings" > "Sending" > "Sending limits."

Check for email client or device issues:

  1. If you're using a third-party email client or device, try checking the client's settings or device's email app to see if there are any issues with receiving DSNs.
  2. Try sending a test email to yourself to see if the issue is specific to the DSN or a general email sending issue.

Contact Hotmail support:

  1. If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can contact Hotmail support for further assistance.
  2. Provide them with detailed information about the issue, including any error messages you've received.

Remember to be patient and persistent when troubleshooting email issues. Good luck, and I hope you're able to resolve the problem and start receiving your delivery status notifications from Hotmail!
