   Error Email

Error
This is the list of emails that could not be sent. The Error column shows the reason the email could not be sent. Remember that by default error emails will not be stored, use the "Store error email" option in the Errors group on the first page of options for the SMTP Relay to turn this on. Double clicking an email opens in the email viewer. The email viewer will not execute worms, scripts or virus and is not susceptible to any such attacks. Right click one or more selected emails to choose to attempt to send the email again or delete the email from the error store.
