The problem with using the CF Undelivr folder is that the folder will contain mails that were not delivered to *your* email server. If you want to track mails that were not delivered to the final destination then you will need to either set a bounce-back address and monitor the bounces from your email server or implement an alternative mail system that provides delivery notifications.
