For Silent Post, merchant servers are not expected to respond to the transaction results post from First Data Payeezy Gateway but our servers do listen for an automatic confirmation from the merchant server that the post was received. Absence of this confirmation will generate the above error email.
Merchant developers should consult their server logs to confirm that the results post was received from Payeezy Gateway and follow up as necessary.
