Setting Up Client Application Patterns 

Use

The Bounced Mail Framework (BMF) can detect the reason for mail bouncing by matching a set of patterns. Once it finds a pattern match, it executes the action group that corresponds to the pattern.

More information: Administering the Bounced Mail Framework

To enable the BMF to check and compare patterns, you need to define them first. You can create, change, and delete patterns. You can also change the order in which patterns are checked.

Prerequisites

You have created at least one action group.
