bouncing emails

[Bill Whillers <mo...@whohasit.com>]

Hello,

Although not exclusively a MP dependant issue, maybe this is the best list to 
ask since I'm concerned about performance, using perl and clean code.

A couple years ago, I built (and now maintain) Yet Another custom job that 
processes bounced email messages set by our web servers. It parses each one 
to get a list of the attempted addresses and the reason (exact or guessed) 
for each bounce.  

Can somebody recommend a standardized, up-to-date and similar module or 
package that does basically the same thing, giving good results and following 
recent RFC/IETF standards?


Thanks

this has nothing to do with mp , because a bounced message is one  
thats accepted by the server , then rejected for delivery.

your webserver should only have to deal with message delivery  
failures and refused acceptance.

if you want to keep it in perl, I'd search the CPAN archives looking  
for current mail message parsers.  asking on perlmonks.org or one of  
the perl listserves could help.

but...

a lot of SMTP servers will have logging functions , an API, or some  
sort of hook for you to accomplish this with.  example: if you're  
using exim you could toss in a perl scan function or write a  
transport/delivery option to handle the  analysis and logging right  
there.
