email address in an inbox?
we send out welcome emails from the inbox. Now i need to find out which email accounts are bounced back. I can easier find out the list of bounced email, however, I have found it's very difficult to find out which email accounts get bounced.
I tried to parse email body content to retrieve bounced email accounts but it's not reliable due to the inconsistency of the email body content.
Thanks!
Ivy

Yes, variety of bounce message formats makes impossible to get e-mail addresses from there with 100% accuracy. However, if your mail server supports wildcard mailboxes, there is a reliable workaround which doesn't require parsing bounce messages at all. This tutorial would be helpful to you.
Best regards,
Andrew

Thank you! Andrew.
Due to limited resources, I had to try to parse the email body. It actually works well, with 99.5% accurate rate.
