----- HI there everyone, Is it possible to use PHP to check an email on the same server? I have a system setup for my newsletters which I want to expand, and basically when mails bounce back to a certain email address on the server as failed it would then read the email and remove the address from the MySQL database, is this possible? Any help would be really appreciated, as right now I have to collect all the failed emails from the server, then go through them one at a time and remove them, not very effecient :-( BTW the server is Redhat. Chris ----- Hi Chris, This topic was only RECENTLY discussed since I was requesting it. I suggest you take a look at the php-db mailing list archives. But I'll cut you some slack here, I'll be happy to send you the code I have for handling bounced emails. It still requires manual input since the author of the original script won't budge and give me an answer. :P So a) you use a script that another person wrote b) you use a simple bit of script I added to handle bounces. Both of which use only a few pages. And of course you can ADD to it, make it do the queries faster etc at your own will. I'll send you the basic one I first started off with as it's a good tool to learn with. So if you want it let me know, I'll send it to your personal address. (not the board) However a few people maybe able to do a better job than I can here, I'll just send the code.. Someone here might be more than willing to explain it from scratch to you. :) J http://personals.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Personals New people, new possibilities.
