Returned mail: see transcript for details
The infamous "returned mail" message!
When you see "returned mail: see transcript for details" in an email or chat window, it usually means that the message you sent was not delivered to the intended recipient due to some issue. The "transcript" refers to a log or record of the communication attempt, which may provide more information about what went wrong.
Here are some common reasons why mail might be returned:
- Invalid email address: The recipient's email address is incorrect, non-existent, or not properly formatted.
- Domain name issues: The recipient's domain name is not valid or is not recognized by the email server.
- Server errors: The email server is experiencing technical difficulties, causing the message to bounce back.
- Spam filters: The message was flagged as spam by the recipient's email provider or their own spam filters.
- Firewall or network issues: The message was blocked by a firewall or network configuration issue.
To troubleshoot the issue, you can:
- Check the recipient's email address for typos or errors.
- Verify that the recipient's email address is valid and active.
- Try sending the message again to ensure it's not a one-time issue.
- Contact the recipient directly to confirm they received the message.
- Check your email provider's settings or contact their support team if you're experiencing persistent issues.
Remember to always proofread your email addresses and subject lines to avoid common mistakes that can lead to returned mail.
