How Can I count bounce back emails

[thomasanup]

I have created a mass email program in PHP/MYsql. Can any one suggest me a way to count number of bounce back mails. I don't have a dedicated mail server.

Hi,

well, you need to supply a return-address in your message ,
right ?

So you have to check your POP/IMAP messages box
and when you have the body of each message,
trying to check for the presence of "standard" error
messages. (strings like "user unknown", and so on)

Hi, I've tried to work this thing out, but have some problem, this is what I tried to use:

currently I'm using imap function "imap_fetchstructure", and try to get the
"parameters[0]->value" and see whether the value is "delivery-status".

and if yes, then it is a bounce back. But sometimes I could not catch some
other bounce back as it's using other words instead of "delivery-status".

And also the (-) point is, it takes a long time just to verify 17 mails,
because it needs to download the Header + BODY email and check them

My question is, is there any way for me to get the "delivery status code"
that coming to my inbox without Download the email firstly? because that part taking so long.

==============
I'm trying to use function "imap_headerinfo" but I don't think it will provide
me Delivery status code

Please let me know if someone know how to do this in fast way
