I created a master list and production list (a little safety net) All the auto-cleaning is done on the master list. I wrote a batch file that looks for predefined phrases like "unable to deliver to [EMAIL PROTECTED]" or "550 [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
I also created an inbound rule to forward all the messages that look like NDRs to a special mailbox which then forwards them to a program alias, and I pointed the program alias to my batch file (forwarding directly to the alias does not work well for this purpose) So my batch file extracts the bad address from the non-delivery report and then uses Blat to compose a message that looks like an unsubscribe request from that address. A bit convoluted but it works. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Brody [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 16, 2002 7:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] Auto Clean Mail List? Is there any method I can use to automatically "clean" bad addresses from an Imail list? I would like to remove or mark any emails that are sent to a list and bounced for any reason.
