What's the procedure now for handling bad domain names? When I send email
to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it immediately fails because there's no MX record
found. Is there a way that I can catch this and tag that address in my
database? Where do I write the CF code to do this?
Also, how do I handle valid domain names, but unknown users? We had talked
a while ago about having some sort of DELIVERYERROR procedure, but can't
remember what the final status of that was.
Thx,
Tac

Well, what other list servers do is keep a running tally before shutting off
a user. For example:
database:
username (string)
email (string)
tempfailures (numeric)
permfailures (numeric)
enabled (yes/no)
Upon successful delivery, clear the failure counters. Upon temp or
permanent failure, increment the appropriate counter. If the counter
reaches a certain number then set the enabled flag to NO.
Then, you can easily see who was automatically shut off and you can even
allow users to view their accounts to see what their status is.
