Howie, any plans on incorporating the FAILEDRESPONSELIST param and messages into the Data.cfm template for delayed failures w. bounce@addresses? That would be excellent. Because, as is, we can only track immediate failures, which means we can not really accurately report hard & soft bounces to our end users.

There is no standard for bounced message content so there can be no error code. I usually suggest keeping a counter for
the number of bounces to an email address and disable the address if there are too many bounces in a given amount of
time.

I don't have such a beast but maybe someone else does...
