We use boogietools and have found it to be relatively easy to work with
(for .net anyway)... much more robust than the code we original created
to parse bounced emails.

Subject: Re: Email Blasts - detecting bouncebacks
Conceptually, it's not terribly difficult. It's a matter of monitoring
the mail box where the bounces are returned, and assessing the type of/
reason for the bounce.
If it's a "hard" bounce (e-mail address malformed or doesn't exist), you
handle it one way, if "soft" (can't deliver right now, etc.) you handle
it differently.
In practice, it can get tricky, just because not all mail servers report
the type of bounce in the same way, making it difficult to handle
automatically.
Here is one pretty intriguing tool to manage this stuff:

I haven't used it myself, but have heard good things, and it looks like
it's pretty comprehensive. Looking through the feature list should also
give you a clearer picture about what you can do with e-mail bounces,
the various types, etc.
