|---|---|
rcp_bypass |
Boolean. This key is set to True if there is a problem with the recipient data. This will make subsequent components skip or bypass this recipient. |
Remarks
The VerifyRecipientData component checks multiple values in the pipeline dictionaries to verify data about the recipient. If any one of the checks fails, the component sets the rcp_bypass key to True so that subsequent components in the pipeline skip the recipient.
The component performs the following checks:
Tests the rcp_bypass key to see if it is True on entry. If True, the component does nothing further.
Ensures that the e-mail address key (rcp_email) is present and has a value.
Tests the formatting code (rcp_formatting) to see if it is empty. If empty, the component uses the default formatting.
Tests the formatting against text, MIME, or MHTML.
The VerifyRecipientData component does not check any of the personalization information. The direct mail sender must verify this data.
