Not receiving delivery failure notifications

[Iris]

I am not receiving delivery failure notifications when emails do not
arrive at their destination. Is there a setting for this that I
haven't enabled? I sent an email to a nonsense address the other day
just to see if I'd receive delivery failure notification, and nothing.
I'd appreciate any thoughts!

There is no setting in Entourage. Sometimes I get a failure to deliver a
message. This comes from my ISP not Entourage.

Return receipts are a different topic.

Keep in mind that return receipts are not a reliable indication that a
message has either been read or received.

I just sent a message to (e-mail address removed) and got a bounce message in
return a split second later. See if you get one back. If not, then I
suspect your ISP may be blocking bounce messages as SPAM.
