Sometimes emails cannot be delivered to destination is due to the connectivity issue. Please check if the destination has such issues or not? Also you should be able to find useful log info on FortiMail.

As ehlo said the issue is likely with the recipient domain, it may be down for a period. These are just warnings to let you know the Fortimail wasn' t able to deliver right away.

The recipient states that the email is working and not down. We have never been able to successfully send her emails. Where do I find the log files? :( Brock

Logs are at: Monitor ---> Log ---> History Search for the recipient, click the session ID link in the logs to view full logs associated with a session. You should see a full explanation in the to= event log

when you find the history log you should see the session ID field with a number that is underlined.... you can click this number.... you should now see the History log and a number of event logs.... if you look over to the right under the message column you' ll see a " from=" event log and one or more " to=" event logs... right click to view details on those " to=" ones get more info on what' s happening.

I did a quick smtp test to that domain and it was accepted... they likely have some kind of antispam against your IP/setup.
