Blood, It's fairly straight forward to code yourself.
You can access the undeliverables folder using CFDIRECTORY and then parse the messages for the e-mail address that bounced and use that to update the database. If on MX I suggest using server.coldfusion.rootDir etc. to locate the undeliverable folder etc. On CF5 and Windows you can use CFREGISTRY etc. Note: the .cfmail file formats are different from CF5 to CFMX. Also, if you want to re-spool messages in CFMX you need to rename the file and restart the CF's mail spool service...which is technically possible to do programmatically using yet more undocumented functions.

He's running his website since 99 and many of these e-mails are bad ones. He wants me to remove the bad e-mails from this list. I used to do that using a software called worldcast, from fairlogic (www.fairlogic.com). It uses DNS to validate e-mails, pretending to send an e-mail and stopping just after he got the 250 code (user exists) or 550 (unknow). Unfortunatly, many networks are not allowing DNS sends, because of spam, so it its not a good solution anymore. I will need to build a tool that interprets the returned e-mails from an actual send (those Undeliverable e-mails) and delete the user based on this e-mail's content. Do you guys knows any software or code that do such thing? Doesn't need to be in cf... I will need to code it myself if i don't find something like that to use, because client needs it very bad (he needs to reduce bandwidth costs). Thank you for your repplies in advance.
