how to get the email bounces

You either:

1. Send your mailing using one sender address, have it hooked to a real mailbox, and have to parse the responses as they come back.

or

2. Modify your mailing so each recipient gets a message sent from a slightly different address e.g. From: mail.12345@example.com. Then if you get a bounce addressed To: mail.12345@example.com you look up mail.12345@example.com in your database and match it with the address that particularly message was sent to.

There are many commercial and open-source products which already do either or both of these . Can you example why you want to reinvent the wheel?
