in my former life as a spam king... :-)
One way I found to figure out a bounceback was to use the "fail-to" attribute in cfmail. Doing this allowed me to do a from of like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and then the failto would be something like "[EMAIL PROTECTED] I would then setup a second domain on my emailserver called bounces.mydomain.com and then just had a catchall. The failures would go to the catch all and then I would cfpop it to check for bounce backs. My process would first see exactly who the subscriber is. The 1234 would represent their ID and then I would just check the "to" in the cfpop and then do a list parse with "-" being the delimiter. Next would be to setup the rules on parsing. This really is just an ongoing process because you will have newer and newer email servers that all respond with the same stuff. Basically you scan the body of the message for certain keywords that designate a "hard" bounce or a "soft" bounce. And then create your process to either unsubscribe them or set a threshold of soft bounces before unsubscribing them. You know I think I may do a blog post and actually post my parse code that I came up with. I know it took me a month of bounce backs to get enough rules that I felt good with. J.J.
