There is a FAILTO parameter in the CFX_iMSMail tag that you can use to
specify an address to return the mail to.  You can make this a special
processor.  If you include the member address in the mail headers then you
can check the address of the member that way.

There was a feature put into the latest POST Server where you can specify
three types of delivery status conditions to be notified of:

Normal
Temp Failure
Permanent Failure

This feature uses a template called reportpoststatus.cfm.  You are provided
with list vars that contain the mail addresses.  Here is a sample
ReportPostStatus.cfm file that shows the different vars:

<cfoutput>
<inlog text="DeliveredList=#form.deliveredlist#">
<inlog text="TempFailedList=#form.tempfailedlist#">
<inlog text="PermFailedList=#form.permfailedlist#">
<inlog text="SMTPFROM=#form.smtpfrom#">
</cfoutput>
result=accept
