Bounceback E-Mails arrive after the sending process. They are not within the scope of any PHP mail sending function.

What one would usually do is to watch the specified mailbox for any "undeliverable" messages after sending. This process can be automated but it's very cumbersome.

@Meena so what is your question then? Not sure I understand – Pekka Oct 15 '10 at 10:49
mail ($strTo, $this->xheaders['Subject'], $this->fullBody, $this->headers) function returns some value deponds upon the mail send or not. My problem is the mail function does not check whether the e-mail is correct or Not even if send the mail to wrong email address it return true.i think so only it does not deliver the bounced back email to return path. – Meena Oct 15 '10 at 11:00
@Meena yes, that is because the mail() function passes the message on to the system's mail server which will then determine how to send it. Nothing you can do really except check the mail address for validity beforehand, or read through the bouncebacks – Pekka Oct 15 '10 at 11:05
ok Sorry Is there is any function is available to check whether the email is valid or not. Bcoz i am trying this in past 1 week still i did notsolve this issue – Meena Oct 15 '10 at 11:14

You can set the Return-Path header to define where bounce messages will be send when delivery fails. You can set the return path address to associated to a POP3 mailbox. You can check that mailbox regularly with a POP3 client class. Parsing the bounce messages you can figure what email address is bouncing. You can use a MIME parser class to parse messages and extract the addresses for you.
