Hi Udhaya,

AFAIK - MDN is a Message Delivery Notification and it is basically a Technical delivery notification. it will be configure in the same channel. refer the below blog

ix.  MDN: Now go to the MDN tab. In this scenario, MDN is sent back to the partner by SAP PI. There is an option of signing this MDN with client’s security certificates to ensure the integrity of the message.

1. Send Option for MDN: In this scenario MDN is always sent asynchronously with respect to the original interface. If the send option is kept as “Immediate” It’s sent as soon as the message is received by a Receiver AS2 channel.

The other Send option is on “Application Acknowledgement”While sending back the MDN following parameters can also be configured.

• Override URL for MDN: Whether MDN needs to be sent to some host other than the originator partner URL.
• Basic HTTP authentication: Whether the receiving partner has configured an authentication HTTP mechanism for receiving all incoming message (User Id and Password)
• Proxy server: Whether the MDN will be routed through any proxy server.
