JobDeliveryStatusResult codes

We have a question about the EasyLink Messaging API:In the API documentation, it states that if the RecStatus element in the JobDeliveryStatusResult contains a code other than 0, we should treat it as a problem - i.e., a failure. However, we are noticing that if we receive a status code of 1, with a message of "No information available", it actually means that the message (in this case an email) will still be delivered. Should a status code of 1 in this RecStatus element be treated as an indication that delivery of the message is still pending, and has not actually failed with some error? Are there other codes for this field that we should be aware of which should not be treated as an immediate failure?

The RecStatus is, from the API Doc:

Status of the attempt to retrieve data for this particular job.

You could have a problem retrieving the data itself but it has no bearing on the job. You need to look at State in the JobData for that once you get the dat correctly.

Thanks for providing that information - we will not use the code in RecStatus to determine the failure state of the job itself.
