Tracking email "bounces"

    Hi folks

    I have an email newsletter going out (Wordpress, Tribulant's "Newsletter" plugin) but I need to be able to track bounces and delete them from the mailing list.

    The way it works is as follows: You set up a mailbox, then pipe all mails to that mailbox into a CGI script (perl) which runs the php page in wordpress that does the deleting.

    Unfortunately the hosting server doesn't allow email piping - something to do with the email server being different from the web server or something...

    Is there any way of getting the perl script to read the email directly or some other way around this?

    Maybe use the Net::POP3 module. I think that it is a standard module so you should already have it installed.

    Here is some sample code.
