Hi,

Just wondering if someone could explain the difference between a bounce and an error for a distribute job.
I thought a bounce was simple an undelivered message due to either:
1) No user at the specified domain
2) No domain name
3) Or any mail system that sends an automatic reply back to the sender (example: Vacation Message)

What is the "Errors To" keyword for? What constitutes an error as opposed to a bounce back?

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
