Maintenance of bounced emails

[Guest]

Greetings! I was wondering if there was a good method of dealing with the
large amount of bounced emails that occur from a mass emailing. I maintain
multiple databases/contact folders for various groups of prospects. Each
time I send out a mass email, I get a small percentage of them as "mail
delivery errors", "delivery failures", etc.

I was curiuos if there was a utility or method of skimming through the
dozens or hundreds of returned email messages. I would want the utility to
dive into the email and grab the address, compare it to a specific contact
database, then have it categorize that contact with the "Bounced Email"
category I created.

My goal is to be able to go through the "Bounced Email" category and clean
the list that way. Otherwise, I'd have to go through each individual email.
For 1,000 bounced emails...this is a pretty time consuming and laborious.
Thanks for any info you can offer!

Why would we want to assist a spammer?

Spammer?!?!? Let me get this right. Because I'm successful and have a few
thousand business associates, clients and people who follow my career, I'm a
spammer? So I should ignore those who have requested that they be on my
mailing list? Should I not communicate critical information to my business
associates? I'm not a spammer. I am someone who purchased this software
package so that I might more efficiently conduct my business. I don't think
it's very appropriate here to accuse someone of something like that.
Besides, I highly doubt that folks are using Outlook to attack millions of
people by email. I'm no expert, but I think Outlook would be a bit limited
in that respect.

Now...back to my original request. Can someone please be of assitance.

Thank you!

Try the MAPILab site. I believe that they have exactly what you need,
among other interesting utilities. You could also look at the
Microsoft Marketplace for Outlook add-ins to find if there are
competing products.

Thanks for the info! I do have a couple of products from MapiLab. I'm very
happy with their product. I'm still open to other ideas, but I'll check and
see what those guys have that might work for me.
