Set up an account that will only receive the bounces. Make the delivery of that account a Maildir. Do a "/bin/ls -1 | wc -l" in that Maildir/new . The number you get is the number of messages in that box. If you want to start over, remove all the files in that Maildir. Please note that it may take hours and days for bounces to come back. \Maex -- SpaceNet AG| Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 | Fon: +49 (89) 32356-0 Research & Development | D-80807 Muenchen| Fax: +49 (89) 32356-299 Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you haven't fallen asleep yet.

Not in Perl, but you can munge the ascii output with Perl scripts: http://cr.yp.to/software.html, qmailanalog. That package will crank out all kinds of statistics about delivered and bounced mails broken down per sender/recipent if needed. regards, -- Joerg Lenneis email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
how to calculate the number of returned mails using qmail
hi all, i need to know how to calculate the number of bounced back/returned mails when sending mails to a list of email addresses. i have qmail installed on a linux box. iam pretty new to qmail. so far, i have been using sendmail wherein there was a option in the sendmail program (-X) which will redirect the entire conversation which my server had with the smtp servers of the recepient boxes to a file. i would then grep the mail ids alone which had returned back from that file. now, iam using qmail-inject and the -X option is not available. iam very much confused as to how to find the number of bounced back mails. iam able to receive all the bounce back mails to my email address. but, i need to count them manually to get the number of returned mails. is there any way to automate the process. i know cgi-perl and all my applications are in perl only. so, a solution in terms of perl would very much helpful to me. advance thanks for the solutions and replies. hoping to get a solution from all of you very soon. Thanks and Regards,S.Mugundhan,[EMAIL PROTECTED]
