Hello,
I know this topic has been beaten to death on this list, but I could not
find an answer in the logs for this list. I am running IMS-SE and am
finally getting around to processing bounced mail. I am using the
header_return_path="bounce-<:CID:>" syntax in my outgoing mail. Now I am
trying to figure out how to catch and parse permanent and temporary failures.
Honestly, I do not understand which template serves which purpose. Can
someone please breakdown how I would do the following, using which
templates and which variables will be available to each. Also, is there ANY
documentation on this?
1. How do I process bounced and undeliverable mail. All the mail I am
processing will have the SMTPFROM and RETURN PATH set to contain a Unique
Identifier. Where do I get this information (and the failure
code/message??) for processing. Is a different template called for
immediate failures than is called when a remote mail server returns mail
after xxx period of time?
2. Data.cfm and rcpt.cfm: Where and when do I use these templates? What
information is available to them and what format is it in?
3. Is it true that the IMS-SE version contains a limited version of the
SMTP server, capable of handling only emails starting with "bounce"? I have
the IMS-SE version installed for sending mail from my CF app. I also have
my regular mailserver (not IMS) installed on the same box. I have set up
IMS SMTP on Port 27, and my standard mailserver on Port 25. Will IMS-SE
SMTP be able to process bounced mail while co-existing with our existing
mailserver?
4. ReportPostStatus returns a list of permanent,failed and/or successful
deliveries. Is there more information available in this template than just
the recipient emails addresses?
5. Deleting Mail Files: When do I need to manually delete mail files? Is
this done when incoming mail addressed to bounce- is received? What is the
syntax to delete the incoming mail. Rather, where do I get the name and
location of the file to delete?
6. Any Sample Data.CFM and/or RCPT.CFM templates available or docs I have
missed?
Thank you for your insights, sorry to post about this topic again....
