notification on a sendmail

Is there any was to setup a notification on the sendmail function other than opening up print distributor and reading the log file? I'm using this software on panisonic tablets in our fire trucks and they connect via wifi to a router in the truck. If they try to print to a printer that is setup to do an email send and they are out of range of the wifi the do not get any failure notification. I would like to keep them out of the software so they don't mess with anything on the printer configuration side.

thanks for the help.

Thanks for your help.

Dustin,

We are considering adding some kind of exception handling mechanism for a future release.

At the moment perhaps the best option would be to install a local smtp server to queue and relay the email? I think if you install IIS there is a SMTP service with it which will work. Then if there is no connection it will wait until there is one available.

Version 4.2 now includes support for exception handling.

There is a new field you can put in the conditional expression for an action called Exception. If you add this condition to an action it will only run if there has been a previous exception.

You could use this to run a custom script only if the Send Mail action failed for instance.
