Re: Mailing list maintenance.
also if u want to keep this local and not use mailchimp, which I would
suggest at least trying as it6 also makes sure a lot more of your mail gets
delivered and will tell you how many people actually read the emails etc.
There is a library around maybe on riaforge for processing email bounces,
there is also a product called bogie bounce which may help you.
The problem with automating email bounces is that you need to know all the
possible bounce messages, whether they are hard or soft, whether they are
delayed messages or just auto responders.

The JS is thanks to a UDF written by Ray Camden
this code pulls all emails from an inbox and searches for anything that
I've identified as a bounceback. Then it uses the UDF to find the email and
then I add that email address to a list. This also delete out of office
emails from the inbox.
Hopefully this helps,

Re: Mailing list maintenance.
Yes... Many ways, but the easiest would be to have them bounce into a mailbox of your choosing. You could then use CF to pop the mail and read the information that is needed to identify enough to send the query to the database to delete or do what you need to do. That is just one method, out of many...
