Abstract
A simple mail transfer protocol ('SMTP') computer fails to deliver a multi-recipient e-mail to another SMTP computer. The SMTP computer generates a multi-line SMTP response including a per-recipient delivery status for each recipient of the multi-recipient e-mail message. The multi-line SMTP response may include a line for each recipient of the e-mail message. The multi-line SMTP response alternatively may include a line only for recipients for which delivery of the e-mail message has failed.
