Knowing if Efficy.sendExternalMail failed

Hello,

For one of our customer we tried want to implement a complex flow were in the end, people get mails. We will use the function Efficy.sendExternalMail for that.

The customer asked me a really good question. How can we know that the mail was actually send ?

I tried this in a scheduler :

Efficy.sendExternalMail('lbe[at]efficy.com', 'lbe[at]efficy.com', '', 'hello ?', 'test test test');

Efficy.sendExternalMail('lbe[at]efficy.com', 'superman[at]efficy.com', '', 'hello ?', 'test test test');

Efficy.sendExternalMail('lbe[at]efficy.com', 'efficy[at]ab78cdefghijkl4mnokqrst.com', '', 'hello ?', 'test test test');

Efficy.sendExternalMail('superman[at]efficy.com', 'efficy[at]ab78cdefghijkl4mnokqrst.com', '', 'hello ?', 'test test test');

The first one is a real address, sending to a real address
The second one is a real address, sending a to a fake adresse ( I think ), but the domain exist
The third one is a real address, sending to a fake address, except the domain does not exist (I am pretty sure. I didn't check :) )
The fourth one is a fake address, sending to a fake address, and the domain does not exist

Here's what I can find in SYS_MAIL after the scheduler :

After the mail dispatcher did his job, here is what I got in my mailbox (Emails are not allowed) :

First mail was obviously a sucess
I got a response from the @efficy smtp for the second address
Still no news from the second
And the fourth, I don't expected much, but I got nothing

In sys_mails : the table is empty.

If theses mails had been sent by, my Outlook, I would have received an error for the third one.

The demand of the customer is simple. He want to be warn when an email was not successfully sent.

How can I respond to that ?

Regards,

Loïc
