Full Version: What solution for PHP based Mail Bounce Handling?
The Planet Forums > System Administration > General Support Questions

I'm looking for a solution that when sending out newsletters, for those e-mails that bounced, it updates the corresponding record in mysql for the e-mail with number of bounces and the latest bounce code error.

I've found bouncehandler.php class so far, but in it's example it checks for .eml files in a directory... so not sure how one would use it on a RHEL4 Linux server along with dovecot pop3 and sendmail.

I've searched the boards and google for hours, and nothing.... someone here must have a working solution for this as it's common requirement by e-mail service providers now to require bouncing e-mails to be removed from lists.

Help me out. Thanks in advance.

I use something called OmniStar Mailer. It works pretty good for mailing newsletters, bounced mail handling, etc.

PHPList supposedly works well to for being a freebie.

Thanks.

It's a highly custom solution, so looking for source or method of setup to figure out how to code this into the script the best.

For anyone else trying this in the future, I just found this tutorial on how to direct mail directly to a php script for parsing so wouldn't have to run the script in cron:

Will be a lot of script hacking between the 2 scripts, but I think I'll be able to get it set up in the next 24 hours, so if anyone needs such source in future, just reply to this thread.
