i do that on a site. first thing is that a lot of crystaltech's servers are on spam lists so I would check your server to see.
just set up the failto address and run a scheduled task to check it and run cfpoop to check it but you need to be sure to check the header and body content for the bounces because some providers do different things. What I do is just check for email addresses and there should be 2, the one that bounced and the one that is the failto. I grab those and put them in a temp table and loop through the emails, when its done looping i compare the bounced ones with the mailing list and if there is a match it deletes it. The big problem with this though is that cfpop takes FOREVER to do this and it can time out. This site gets about 10,000 bounces every broadcast and it takes weeks to get through them, this summer we are changing it up and bought an email checker that grabs all the email addresses from that email acount and spits them out into a list then they can take the list and upload it and it will run and delete all the matches and only takes about a minutes to do it all. >Hi, > >I have developed an email newsletter application for one of my clients (a >local bike shop).
