We modified the Shared_POP WebCatalog example this weekend to process e-mail bounces for a client list. Bounces from an e-mail blast are sent to a POP mailbox the usual way that mail traverses the internet. Our bounce processor (modified Shared_POP) logs into the mailbox and picks up the mail. For each message it tries to parse out whether or not the message is a bounce and if it's a hard bounce, it then deletes the subscriber from the client's mailing list which is stored in a webcatalog database. If the processor can not figure out whether this is a real bounce or not... it sends the message to the administrator's mailbox where it is processed by a human. Our processor is very very crude at the moment. And considering the enormous range of possibilities when it comes to parsing bounce messages... this is no trivial task. ~joe -- _______________________________________________________________ Joseph D'Andrea ~ http://www.west21.com/ ~ JoeDan@West21.com WEST21.com Internet services for the 21st Century webhosting ~ co-location ~ wireless access ~ WebCat programming ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
