Bruce, Is there any way (obviously for a future version), to have a feature which will allow bounced email addresses to be unsubscribed in the database automatically? Ie, a 'cleanup' script which admins could run, which will go through the inbox of the sending email address, sniff for 550 bounces (for example), and unsubscribe that email address? I know bounced emails could be ignored, but why send 5000 emails, when 50% of them are addresses that no longer exist. Hope that makes sense. Cheers, Oli

Most email components can not pickup emails, but only relay emails to a mail server. This means that without special components installed on the server it is not possible to retreave emails from an inbox to process them. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

This would be similar to the upload feature.. most require the purchase of a separate component although there are free ones as well. A pop3 component can be used. There are some examples here: http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/092201-1.shtml" rel="nofollow - http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/092201-1.shtml
Then, you would have to create a tool that an administrator would run, it would log into a mailbox with the bounced emails and then scan the mailbox for content and based on the contents, remove the subscriber. Plenty of work, but definately doable.
