as an fyi - I'm going to add on to what I started and extend by php program that parses the /var/log/maillog file to do it daily, keep track of the number of emails sent to each member and the number of bounces sent to each member.

If a forum member has a bounce on 5 different days then I'll set their email address to blank. This way I can avoid setting their email to blank if they get just one bounce. This is beause there are often legitimate bounces such as soft bounces because their inbox is full, their service provoider's email server may be offline etc. Therefore if we cannot contact them on 5 different days (over any span of time) then we'll clear their email address.

HOWEVER - if we do deliver an email successfully, then thy bounce-count will get reset to zero and the bounce count starts all over again

:)

feel free to release a mod including all you have done with this my diesel brother .

I will go and try this mod, but i think it will be a lot off work.
I allready have more then 200 invallid adresses on 7000 members.
But the most use a temporary mailing adress, like Hotmail and after a month or what, they remove the adress and get a new one.
Maybee copy/paste all the adresses and let my moderators help.

Thanks anyway.

Sailnet - did you ever release your idea as a mod ?

Also, where do i check to see which mails are bouncing ?

If It would be a automated script,

1 - Bounce Mail Comes
2 - Script handles all bounced mails
3 - Finds the users and deletes after approve from database

Would be Great for everyone
