At present you have to look in the log files to determine why PMDF has been
unable to send the message.  There are two primary causes of mail not being
able to be sent: the network is down or the destination host is down.

PMDF V4.2 stores with each message, non-delivery information.  This information
will be sent to the sender along with non-delivery notices.
