Hi folks, I've been using howtoforge's tutorials for a long time and its great (Thank You). Now I find my self in a nasty situation where I have an email server that I use it to send mass emails with newsletters. My problem is that, even that I filter the database for valid or non-valid email addresses, with some php scripts I developed, in the database that I have, it takes a long time which is the thing that I don't have. So, I have to send the newsletter to all the email addresses I have (valid or not), and that generates lots of Email Delivery Errors. Now I am looking for a way to filter those non valid emails through postfix or some app, and save them in a file so I can later compare them. So there goes my question: Are there any logs/apps that contain those Email Delivery Errors? Thank you, w0rldart PS: Hope I was clear, if not, I will give my best to explain better next time.
I guess you have some sort of mailbox where the bounces arrive? You could then use that mailbox to achieve your goal.
Yes I do, but the think is that I just can't think of a way to achieve that goal. Could you guide me a bit through this? Thank you, w0rldart BTW: How can I do that, if emails are downloaded on my computer and no copies left on the server? That's why I was asking for a log, or any other idea!
I'd leave the mails on the server and then maybe write a script that extracts the email addresses from the bounced emails.
