Perl SendMail Bounce Emails Question

[WebStuck]

Hi,

I use a perl script to send out a newsletter. However, I never receive any of the bounced emails resulting from sending my newsletter to invalid addresses. Is there a way that I could change my script so that I do receive these bounced email messages?

Kind Regards,
Ben Cunningham

set the

Reply-To:

and

Return-path:

headers.

I had tried the Reply-To header before and I just now tried the Return-path header. However, neither seems to cause me to receive the bounced back emails from sending to invalid email addresses.

Kind Regards,

You're using sendmail, whats the rest of your configuration? I don't think the bounce backs are a dependency of your script, but your infrastructure.

I get bounce backs if I email an invalid address without going through my newsletter script. My configuration is:

open (MAIL, "|$mail_program -t -oem&quot || die "Can't open $mail_program!\n";
if ($html eq "1&quot {
print MAIL "Content-type:text/html\n";
}
print MAIL "From: $your_email\n";
print MAIL "Reply-To: $your_email\n";
print MAIL "To: $member\n";
print MAIL "Subject: $in{'subject'}\n\n";
print MAIL "$in{'message'}\n\n";

$your_email = my emailing address

Does your newsletter application uses .procmailrc or .forward files to listen to incomming emails? In that case that's where you need to install a log to monitor your traffic.

I don't believe the script I am using uses .procmailrc or .forward files to listen to incomming emails?
