Re: Problems with JavaMail - catching bounced emails - help
Actually I do have one further problem. Is there any way that the program
can catch emails that bounce back because the to address is invalid? At the
moment they just come into my inbox but I want it so that they cause an
error in my code e.g Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender. If
the address is invalid e.g test@hotmailcom I want an Java exception to catch
this rather than just get a bounced email.
Is there any way to do this?

Re: Problems with JavaMail - catching bounced emails - help
Posted by Len Popp <le...@gmail.com>.
You won't get a Java exception for that because email is delivered
asynchronously. The bounce message comes back long after your program
has sent the email. To catch these you'll need a program that monitors
the inbox and handles the bounce messages appropriately. I don't know
of such a program, but it wouldn't surprise me if you could find some
code somewhere.
