Hi Mark, I'm assuming you are in the USA and that AOL handle things differently there than in the UK.
I send out about 800 emails a week to AOL users and when they bounce the email address is included in the AOL failure message. I've also had a white listing for some time. The AOL message clearly states the reason for the bounce, whether that is the user doesn't exist ot that the user is not accepting mail from my domain. (Kinda beats me why people join a dating site and then don't want emails from it!) I do use failto in the cfmail tag, but the bounce messages are definitely AOL generated.

As you probably know, AOL returns end user rejected messages back to the designated sender (me), with a subject line of "FW: Client TOS Notification" from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". The email address of the recipient who rejected the message is blocked out by AOL, which is dumb because I want to remove their address from the database. I've seen mention of a mail "footer" on another list, which would allow me to embed the recipient's email address so that it doesn't get stripped out by AOL. It appears that with HTML formatted messages, I can just put the recipient's email address somewhere in the message body. Can something like this be done with plain-text messages? Is there a better way to do this with a <cfmailparam> tag? Would the cfmail failto work in this instance? Thanks, Mark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:228837 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
