It appears that mod uses "Poor Man's Bounced Email Handler" to deal with bounced emails and that mod has a rather desperate sounding plea in it's description of "Please, somebody, create a real bounce handler!" which doesn't fill me with confidence that any of that will do a good job handling bounced emails. Bottom line that MIGHT work, but it sounds like a kludge at best.

With all the vB boards out there, how is it that this hasn't been dealt with yet?
