envelope. The part of a message that contains information needed to transfer the message
and to deliver it to its intended recipients. The envelope takes different forms from the
time the message is submitted to the time it is delivered or retrieved, and depending on
whether it is submitted or retrieved directly through an MTA or through a message
store. See also content.
error. A condition that causes a command or other operation to fail. See also warning.
error list. In DSM programmatic interfaces, a group of tokens used within a response
record to provide error and warning information. An error list consists of a list token
that denotes an error list (different from the token that starts a data list or a generic list),
followed by an error token, other tokens explaining the error (optional), and an end-list
token. Error lists can be nested within other error lists. The return token cannot be
included in an error list.
error number. In DSM programmatic interfaces, a value that can be assigned to a return
token, or to the last field of an error token, to identify an error that occurred. Some
error numbers are defined in the data communications (ZCOM) definitions; others are
defined by individual subsystems.
