right then.

I need to write a program that sends out emails to a list of people(definately not spam!) but needs to log that the email was successfull or not. I'm using MAPI and I know that there are success/failiure checks that can be done at the point of sending but these only make sure that the email has been dispatched successfully. How can you check to see if the email has been returned because of an unknown recipient etc? I have noticed that different email servers present different types of information about the failiure. Some attach the original email, some provide all of the routing information and all sorts. Does anyone know if there is a common set of information that is sent back that can easily be checked by a program.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
