I am setting up a List Serve type system that periodically sends a message
out to a lot of people, based on email addresses in a Oracle Database. The
problem is that not all addresses in the database are valid and will bounce
back. Since every Bounced message structure from a daemon is different I
thought of sending a flag in the message body of the original message sent
to the List Serve. Most Return Daemon messages contain the original text
of the message. Next to the flag will have the email address of the person
being sent to i.e. xxxx: j(_at_)fff(_dot_)com . That way when I get a bounce
message
back from a Mailer-Daemon I can tell who the original addressee was and
remove them from the database.
I was wondering if there was a way for procmail to find this flag, and
then pass the email address coming after the flag to a variable. If this
is possible, how do I do it?
If there is another way of determining the original addressee from a
returned message from a Mailer_Daemon I would like to know that as well.
Thanks
