This will only work if the mail client does not have an option to turn off external downloads/links when viewing html mail.

[PHP] undelivery mails
I need to send a newsletter and I need to know all mail addresses of the undelivery mails to update the database. Any suggestion? Do I need to parse the maillog? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] undelivery mails
From: Juan Cortabitarte [EMAIL PROTECTED] I need to send a newsletter and I need to know all mail addresses of the undelivery mails to update the database. Any suggestion? Do I need to parse the maillog? If you're using the basic mail() function in PHP, you're not going to get any data back regarding deliveries. Some of the available SMTP classes may incorporate that, though. You'll more than likely (since you want to automate this, I imagine) have to write a PHP script that logs into a mailbox and parses the messages looking for bounces, failed delivery, etc. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
