A 'bounced' email will return to the sender, often with a message containing "Undeliverable" or similar.

One trick to identify bad emails in a list is to set the "Reply-To:" and "Envelope" to different email addresses, so that if an actual person hits reply, it goes to you, but if the email bounces, it goes to an inbox that is periodically polled by an automated script which marks those emails as bad in the master list.

Hi list,

when sending an email (via a PHP script for instance), what
are the possibilities to know if the email went through or not
(the email address isn't valid anymore, etc) ?

In order to avoid cluttering this list, don't sent lengthy answers,
but only pointers to some webpages...

Thanks,
JB
