A simple notification is like this, this is one of the mail in my mailbox, it mix with other normal email ,but since it seems it generate by server, so i can not see any standard in it. are there any indication that the mail is bounce(in yahoo, gmail , hotmail) so that i can use php to filter out all of them?

Updated

$message = Swift_Message::newInstance()
  ->setSubject($row['Subject'])
  ->setReturnPath('fypboune@gmail.com')
  ->setFrom(array($row['ReplyTo'] => $row['FromName']))
  ->setBody($html, 'text/html')
  ->addPart($txt, 'text/plain');
  ;

The error delivery mail will go to my sender account no matter i have specific a return path in it, how to fix that? Thanks

what most of do is set a ReturnPath address for the sent mail, any mail that goes to that address is returned by the server not a human, so scan that for error messages added by the server.

$pattern_subject = "#delivery errors|delivery failure|delivery has failed|delivery notification|delivery problem|delivery status notif|failure delivery|failure notice|mail delivery failed|mail delivery system|mail status report|mail system error|mail transaction failed|mailserver notification|mdaemon notification|nondeliverable mail|returned email|returned mail|returned mail|returned to sender|returning message to sender|spam eater|undeliverable|undelivered mail|warning: message#i";

$pattern_body = "#554 delivery error|554 TRANSACTION FAILED|Action: failed|Delivery attempts will continue to be made for|delivery temporarily suspended|Invalid recipient|is not a valid mailbox|Mail rejected by Windows Live Hotmail for policy reasons|mailbox is full|Mailbox quota usage exceeded|mailbox unavailable|my badmailfrom list|no mailbox here by that name|no such address|No such user here|not yet been delivered|Over quota|PERM_FAILURE: DNS Error: Domain name not found|Recipient address rejected|retry timeout exceeded|Status: 4.4.1|The account or domain may not exist, they may be blacklisted, or missing the proper dns entries.|The following address doesn't exist|The message that you sent was undeliverable to the following|The recipient name is not recognized|This Gmail user does not exist|This is a permanent error|Unrouteable address|unrouteable mail domain|User mailbox exceeds allowed size|User unknown in virtual alias table|User unknown#i";
  • Are you referring to VERP? That's a good practice for mailing lists, etc, but of course, it doesn't help for mail you have already received. – tripleee Mar 29 '12 at 03:45
  • what are the phrase i need to search? Since all error message from different mail provider is different . Thank you – Leo Chan Mar 29 '12 at 04:36
  • Also, then you means i need to set up one mail account for one campaign? – Leo Chan Mar 29 '12 at 04:37
  • the only other possible solution will be to write regular expression for all known email host ( gmail,yahoo etc) to extract recipient – Mr Coder Mar 29 '12 at 04:38

    @Leo, i have added a couple of search pattern strings i use. –  Mar 29 '12 at 05:11
  • Thank you a lot and i have to create one account for one campaign, or any other easier (but complex in filtering,perharps) way? – Leo Chan Mar 29 '12 at 05:39
  • Also, i am wondering what should i do if some advertising mail sent to that account? Thanks – Leo Chan Mar 29 '12 at 06:05
  • i send all email to @return.mydomain.com to a script then filter the address to determine the campaign, then scan the body for what i need, remember the before @ can be 64 characters, so you can put a lot of data in there (campaign id, user id, etc). google VERP for more –  Mar 29 '12 at 06:10
  • "Also, i am wondering what should i do if some advertising mail sent to that account" never had any non return by machine mail turning up, after some several years, so i wouldn't worry about it. –  Mar 29 '12 at 06:11
