We have our bounces directed to a specific mailbox and have a ColdFusion script check against it every few minutes. We pull the files directly from the server via CFFILE instead of using CFPOP to speed things up. Once pulled in, we search the message for each of an array of strings that are considered "failure" and then another that are considered "ignore." If a match is found on the failure list, we do further processing to extract the original destination e-mail address from the message and add it to an exclusion list for later mailings. For matches on the ignore list (vacation notices, etc.) we just discard the message. If no match is found the file is moved to another mailbox so we can periodically go through and update the lists. If anyone wants a copy of the fail/ignore string lists, let me know and I'll send it off-list. -Justin Scott ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72&catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:284975 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
