Here's how I've done handled bounced mail in the past... 1) Create a bounces subdomain for your domain (ie: bounces.blah.com).
2) Configure your mail server to route all messages sent to bounces.caycon.com into one catch all mailbox. 3) When your system generates emails to members of your site/database, set the return-path header to use some combination of a unique user id and the bounces subdomain. For example, I may be user # 46738 in the database, so my return-path might be [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4) Have a scheduled script, cron, whatever check your catch all account and parse out all the email addresses matching [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then yank out the part before the @ to determine which users bounced. 5) Run database updates or other events as needed.
