Bounced Emails Processor
is destined to detect and process bounced email messages. Bounced Emails
Processor can recognize soft bounced
messages and hard bounced messages.
Bounced messages are called soft
bounced if they come back to the sender due to some temporary reasons: busy
mailbox, blocked domain, mailbox full, account temporary down, network busy,
mailbox over limit, etc. The Status field of soft bounced messages shows errors
beginning from 4. You can try several attempts to deliver a message to these
email addresses. If after that the delivery is still failed, you should simply
delete these emails from your database as non deliverable.
Hard bounced messages refer to non-existing users, or that
mail servers or email clients filtered emails and returned them as hard bounced.
Hard bounced emails have the Status field beginning from 5. It makes no sense to
resend a message to hard bounced emails and you should simply remove them from
your mailing list.
When you set the Bounced Emails Processor, the program
automatically displays you the default Field Extractor settings that allow you
to extract the following data from bounced emails:
Email - the field
contains a bounced email address. If a bounced message has more than one email
address in the Email field, the program will extract all bounced email
addresses.
Status - the field
contains an automatic delivery status notification from a mail server. For more
information, see RFC 1893.
Action - the field
contains the result of delivering a message. For bounced messages the action is
usually Failed.
Error - the field
contains the reason of a non-delivery of a message.

If you do not want the program to extract the data from
all these fields, you can remove some of them and leave the necessary ones.
But you cannot remove the entire Field Extractor as there will be no data to
perform further actions. |
After the data is extracted, the program executes Actions:
saves the data to a file.
To write data extracted from soft
bounced messages to a file, we set up Write To File action in this way:
To write data extracted from hard bounced messages to a file,
we set up Write To File action in this way:
As a result after the program finishes its work, you will
have two different files containing soft and hard bounced emails.
