How can I capture undeliverable email?

[Guest]

Hi,
Is there any way I can capture the undeliverable email data in coldfusion? We have a large amount of email addresses in our database. I need to track it for our client.
Thanks a lot!

you can start by adding FAILTO attribute with your email address to your
CFMAIL tags...

if you want to automate the process, you can set up a special email to
receive failed delivery notifications vie FAILTO, then create a cf
scheduled job to check that email account using CFPOP, retrieve the
failed email address from mail's body/header and update your db to
remove that email...

mind you, there may be different reasons for failed delivery, and not
all of them mean the email address is invalid...

The address in the "from" attribute in the cfmail tag should get the bounce back messages from the email server if it is associated with an actual email account.

You might want to also consider taking a peek into the ColdFusion8\Mail\Undelivr folder on your server.
