How to Del from DB email that bounced

even with opt-in I foresee bounced email

[henry0]

I am scripting a NL mailer for an org and something just popped in my mind:
How could I auto del from the DB any row tied with an email that bounced?
I really have no clue, could it be done?
I am on a dedicated server but doubt that I will ever have mail server access :)

I've never done it but I think I remember reading that you can set up the mail server to direct bounce emails to a script which then reads the email, extracts the email address and deletes it from the database.

Thanks, I will investigate; however as I mentioned earlier I doubt that I can do anything mail server side

[jatar_k]

odds are then that you would have to do it manually, you don't even necessarily need to delete, just set a nomail flag or something

the thing I normally use is [procmail.org...]

Good link, Thanks Jatar_k

I am moving in another direction
If I can set a cron that will send me a daily CSV of bounced, failures etc...
Then I could easlily be in business
