Pete, I wrote a blog post a while back with a way to do this:
http://jeremiahx.com/2007/08/12/how-to-email-bounce-management/ Basically you put an ID of your user inside of the failto so it would be failto="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Create a catchall on the bounces.mydomain.com domain and then parse the email address. This way you know exactly who the user is in your database just in case the email is forwarded and the bounce message you get back contains an email address that is not in your database. J.J.
