My email reports provide an overview of all emails that have
been sent out by Mye-Coach to you. You can view the content of the email
and re-send it if necessary.
The status of an email could be Sent, Bounced, Received, Deferred, Rejected or Delivered.
Sent, Received and Delivered:
Most emails will probably have a status of 'Sent'.
This is because most email relays do not report successful delivery of
an email. This may seem strange, but email as a technology was developed
as the technical equivalent of sending a letter. When we send a letter,
we know it was sent as we were the sender, but we do not truly know the
date or time it was delivered, if it at all!
Deferred, Bounced and Rejected:
Emails
that have been deferred, bounced or rejected will require manual
attention, as this means that emails are not reaching your inbox:
- your email address is incorrect or invalid.
- the email relay between Mye-Coach and your inbox has 'greylisted' Mye-Coach.
Greylisting
email addresses is reasonably common practice with public sector email
relays, as the system administrators have to defend against
large numbers of spam and unwanted emails. If emails from Mye-Coach are being marked as deferred or rejected, you may need to ask
your network systems adminstrator to allow emails from the Mye-Coach
system.
You can ask you administrator to send you test email from the system, if you would like to check deliverability.
