Conceptually, it's not terribly difficult. It's a matter of monitoring the mail box where the bounces are returned, and assessing the type of/ reason for the bounce.
If it's a "hard" bounce (e-mail address malformed or doesn't exist), you handle it one way, if "soft" (can't deliver right now, etc.) you handle it differently. In practice, it can get tricky, just because not all mail servers report the type of bounce in the same way, making it difficult to handle automatically. Here is one pretty intriguing tool to manage this stuff: http://www.boogietools.com/products/ I haven't used it myself, but have heard good things, and it looks like it's pretty comprehensive. Looking through the feature list should also give you a clearer picture about what you can do with e-mail bounces, the various types, etc. On 7/31/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've seen systems that will track bounceback as a result from large > outgoing email > campains.
