    Our web site emails out job announcement information to registered users. We BCC to about 75 email addresses in each email that we send for the 18,000+ users we have regsietered

    We are endevouring to determine the email addresses that bounce within this series of emails using the ASPEmail logger as outlined on the page http://www.aspemail.com/manual_08.html . I have been informed that the EmailLogger is not available for use on our server. Can anyone please suggest an easy method for determining invalid email addresses using ASPEmail (preferably) or another email component.

    No. This is not available. We do not support ASPEMail's queuing agent.


    I recommend you check out commercial mass mailing system / service that handle bounce management.


    The Logger is not really useful because it can only detect email address that is completely offline. For example, if you send to a non-existing email on an active domain, this will not work.

    Have you looked into ASPNETMX component? This component checks the target mail server to see if it is online as well as the validity of the users.

    Another way to do this is to store all the bounced message in a POP box and create a desktop application to download the mail and parse the result.

    Hi Bruce,


    Thanks for the reply. I checked all the sites recommended by DASP for commercial mass emailing. Their prices are waaaaay too much for us - as we don't make all that much out of the service we provide - we used to be free. Not only that but the interface we have purpose built for the process does the job adequately at the moment - it's just that previously the list was not managed fully and thus invalid emails need to be removed.


    If anybody knows ifthere is a convenient way to address this without having to send emails individually to each email address then it would be really appreciated.


    Thanks
