Webmaster Forum / PHP / General PHP Topics / July 2008undelivered emails and PHP5 in Linux
Hello, I am writing a program in PHP5 using mail() function. I need to know if there's any method to check if there was return email to server (with "undelivered" message). I use Linux. PLEASE HELP. Thanks. /RAM/ > I am writing a program in PHP5 using mail() function. I need to know if > there's any method to check if there was return email to server > (with "undelivered" message). No, because returned mail is not returned to the originating server, but to the sender email address.

You should NEVER try to check for a failed email in the same script that created the email unless you have designed the script to run as daemon. It just takes too long. If it were me, I'd go with recording outgoing mails in a database and create a PHP script to run as a procmail filter to pick up bounces and flag them in the DB. But its equally valid to pool a mailbox. C. |
