Yes, failure notification is sent. You should also look at Bounce Management, which alerts the user when they are sending mails to leads or contacts with invalid email address.

I tested it. But I didn't recieved any failure notofication. You mean in case of failre will it send a email to me saying "hey for this email id sending mail is failed because this is a invalid mail" ?

See if "Return bounced emails to sender" is checked in Administration Setup->Email Administration->Deliverability .

In My org this option is already checked. But I am not getting any bounced messages in my inbox.

ok, sorry, not sure why it would not work for you. Maybe someone else here can explain it or you could open a case to have it answered by salesforce. But this is what the feature is for.

Thanks for your help Bunty. I am not using any templates while sending the email I am just sending an email to a some random email address (it will not present as contacts/Leads in SF) with some body as "testmail.". Do you think because of this I am not getting bounced mails?

 

Agains thanks for trying to answer my question here.

As far as I know, that should not affect the outcome, HTML or Text, if the mail bounces, you should get a mail from Mail Delivery System [mailer-daemon@salesforce.com]

It worked. I got a mail from mailer-daemon@salesforce.com. But it almost took 2 hours to bounce the mail and send it to my Inbox. Looks like something is causing this long delay.

 

Thank You!.
