Check if an e-mail comes over (bounce)

[Arjen]

Hello,

When I send an e-mail to this sample e-mail address sa****@mail.com then
there are three options.
1. The e-mail comes over;
2. The e-mail bounce, because the e-mail address doesn't excist;
3. The e-mail bounce, because the e-mail box is full.

Is it posible to check these options?

Thanks!

Hi Arjen:

In some cases you'll receive an error code from the SMTP server - in
most .NET email components I've seen this will generate an exception.

In other cases the SMTP server might keep trying to send your message
and give up after a number of hours or days. In these cases the SMTP
server usually sends a notification to the sender via email - so you'd
have to be checking an inbox to know if the email bounced.

Hi,

Hmmm.... does somebody knows a good bounce e-mail filtering and handling
tool or component?
(I want to use it inside an C# project)

Thanks!
