I've been very happy with a product called BoogieTools
(http://boogietools.com/)
It ties directly into the SQL database and can handle hundreds of different
types of bounces. Managing a large list... it's been invaluable for dealing
with bounced email. And... at $350, it was well worth the price, given the
time it would've taken me to come up with something similar.

Blood,
It's fairly straight forward to code yourself.
You can access the undeliverables folder using CFDIRECTORY and then
parse the messages for the e-mail address that bounced and use that to
update the database.
If on MX I suggest using server.coldfusion.rootDir etc. to locate the
undeliverable folder etc.
On CF5 and Windows you can use CFREGISTRY etc.
Note: the .cfmail file formats are different from CF5 to CFMX.
Also, if you want to re-spool messages in CFMX you need to rename the
file and restart the CF's mail spool service...which is technically
possible to do programmatically using yet more undocumented functions.

Subject: Removing bad emails from newsletter db
One of my client's has about 103k people in his mailing list. He's
running
his website since 99 and many of these e-mails are bad ones.
He wants me to remove the bad e-mails from this list. I used to do that
using a software called worldcast, from fairlogic (www.fairlogic.com).
It
uses DNS to validate e-mails, pretending to send an e-mail and stopping
just
after he got the 250 code (user exists) or 550 (unknow).
Unfortunatly, many networks are not allowing DNS sends, because of spam,
so
it its not a good solution anymore. I will need to build a tool that
interprets the returned e-mails from an actual send (those Undeliverable
e-mails) and delete the user based on this e-mail's content.
Do you guys knows any software or code that do such thing? Doesn't need
to
be in cf... I will need to code it myself if i don't find something like
that to use, because client needs it very bad (he needs to reduce
bandwidth
costs).
Thank you for your repplies in advance.
BP.
