Simplenews Bounce

The module will (on the cron) try and connect with the "Simplenews default From email address" mailbox (via imap) and do a best effort in understanding the bounce reports and saving them in the database in Drupal. The results are available in a view. (admin/reports/bounce)

Currently there is no active processing of bounces, you have to do that manually.

Drupal 7

There is currently no development for a D7 version. It will be developed in the future. (rough estimate: Q3 2012)

Drupal 6

Only version 2.x is being developed and supported.

The future of this module is changing during the early stages of development. Please post your thoughts, ideas, ... in the issuelist so we can make this module the best it can be.

Requirements

• simplenews (version 2.x)
• libraries (version 1.x)
• views (version 2.x)
• PHPMailer-BMH (Bounce Mail Handler) (version 5.0.0)

Highly recommended

• A dedicated mailbox for bounce handling
• mimemail or another mail library

Installation

• Download, install and enable the module.
• Download and install the PHPMailer-BMH (Bounce Mail Handler) (version 5.0.0). Unpack the archive in /sites/all/libraries/PHPMailer-BMH/ so that the index.php file is in the root of the PHPMailer-BMH folder. (you may also use a more specific libraries folder that is compatible with the libraries module)
• Go to the settings page and configure your mailbox. (admin/settings/simplenews/bounce)

Bounce handling will start on the next cron run. Detailed reports can be found at admin/reports/bounce

Know issues

• Some software (websever, OS, ...) could override the needed headers. (reply-to, errors-to, ...) Please open an issue if you are experiencing these problems so we can get them fixed.
• PHPMailer-BHM is not able to recognize all bounces. (yet?)
