I don't understand what you mean by bounces.

If they are bounced then they never get into your account.

I suspect that vivek has an auto-emailer script (like one that emails passwords/confirmations) and he wants it to automatically take some action if the email it sends gets bounced back to whatever email address is configured as the From: of his PHP install.

ah good point, I was thinking the other way

try something like this
[procmail.org...]

that's what I have used
