I have been tasked with taking bounced messages and creating a spreadsheet with the rejected addresses and the reason they bounced (box full, bad address, etc...). Eventually I will search a database for the bad address to get the users name, and phone number (I will probably use something like WWW:Automate, since I only have www access to the data. However, I am not sure, since my client requires NTLM and I do not know how this will effect things).

For now, however, I am just trying to handle the first part. Catch a bounced message and store the bad addresses (and if possible the reason for the bounce) in a spread sheet.

This sounds like something that would be a module already, but I could not turn anything up. Bounced messages are almost formatted similarly enough that this would be easy...almost.

I will continue to meditate on this while awaiting word from the spires of the monastery.


Thank you for any help or direction.
James
