Hello everyone,

We are testing H.1.4 – Receive Health Information Using Direct (Required) and are seeing an issue where the received Direct message is stored correctly in the inbox, but the notification email (MDN / delivery notification) is not being saved or tracked as expected.

Below is the detailed scenario.


Test Case Description Test Name

H.1.4 – Receive Health Information Using Direct


Step-by-Step Flow Step 1: Receive Direct Message

Result:

  • Message is successfully received

  • Message is stored in the inbox

  • Message is visible in the UI with a valid Message ID

Receive functionality works as expected


Step 2: Send Notification (MDN / Delivery Notification)
  • Our system generates and sends an MDN automatically after receiving the message

  • MDN is:

Application logs confirm:

MDN sent successfully

Observed Issue
  • The original Direct message remains stored in the inbox

  • However, the notification email (MDN / delivery notification):

    • Is not saved in the inbox

    • Does not appear in message history

    • Is not visible in UI or logs as a stored message

There is no delivery error reported by SMTP.


Expected Behavior

After a Direct message is received and stored in the inbox:

  • The corresponding notification email (MDN / delivery notification) should also be:

    • Persisted

    • Traceable

    • Viewable for audit / validation purposes


Questions
  1. Is the notification email (MDN) expected to be stored in the inbox, or is it processed separately?

  2. If MDNs are not stored, is there a recommended way to audit or verify notification delivery?

  3. Are inbox storage rules different for:

    • Incoming Direct messages

    • Notification / MDN messages?

Any clarification on expected behavior would be appreciated.


Summary
  • ✔ Direct message is received and stored in inbox

  • ✔ MDN is sent successfully

  • ❌ Notification email is not being saved or tracked

Looking for guidance on whether this is expected behavior or a configuration issue.

Thank you.

You should send the MDNs back to the 'mail from' address, but this test case is testing the successful receipt of the direct message to your direct email address. you should setup a contact email when you register your direct address, The contact email should be a smtp address to which the tool will send validation results of the direct message
