Hello users,

I've been thinking (yes, I know I could hurt myself doing that) about
some way in which to utilize the memo field of an address book
contact. My ultimate goal is a way to track bounces, but I'd settle
right now for any thoughts on modifying the memo field contents during
filtering.

Here's how I would like it to work, then we'll see how close we can
get to it.

1. You receive a bounce message
2. The filter catches it and through regexp sees if there is a number
   there.
3. If not, it places a 1 in the memo field and doesn't process any
   more filters.

   If the number it reads + 1 exceeds a threshold in the
   "script/regexp", it proceeds to the next filter which is a remove
   address from address book group.

   If there was a number, it takes it, adds one, and writes it back to
   the memo field, and doesn't process by any more filters.


Now the regexp matching isn't a problem, and I'm sure the adding a
number is possible, but writing to the memo field I'm thinking is
going to be a different story.

What do you all think?


Cheers,
Leif Gregory
