I'm in a similar boat, and use the POP3 tag as well. It beats the snot out of CF's native <cfpop>.
HOWEVER... depending on what mail server you're trying to tap, and the size of the email account's inbox that you're trying to tap... even that wonderful tag can choke. As far as bounces, there's a set of scripts called "BoogieBounce" that I have yet to monkey with myself, but it looks like a good solution for pushing a bounced email through and getting back some decent detail as to WHY it bounced. http://www.boogietools.com/products/productBoogieBounce.asp Scott Brady wrote: >Much like Damien, I just built a similar system for our application. >CFX_POP3 is WELL worth the $20 (I think it's actually 10 GBP, which >ended up being $20 when we purchased it). > >Scott > >On 4/27/05, Damien McKenna wrote: > > >>I'm doing exactly that right now.
