Parsing Email bounce back tex

HI,

I am after some assistance in finding what is the best way to parse through
bounce back text......

because each server is different i cant really depend on Line x being the
line where the error message is...

the only reliable way i can think of it so search for the error message by
name,
eg. 500 Error message
501 Another error message
etc

Does anyone konw of a better way to manage this?

Can you explain what are you trying to achieve?

I'm still not comfortable when you say "bounce back text". What exactly
are you referring to?

for instance..

we are building a newletter tool...

A when we send out the newsletter we want to ensure that we can catch the
bounce backs...

what i mean by bounce back text is basically the text in the email that
explains the reason why it bounced back.

In that case, you are looking for the protocol specs. Look at the SMTP
RFC at:

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc821.html
or
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0821.txt

Concentrate on section 4.2.1 - Reply Codes by Funtion Groups.
and
4.2.2 - Numeric Order of Reply Codes.
