I am trying to figure out if an application sending mail through javamail can be made aware of bounced emails.
I have installed Java Mail 1.2 on a window 2000 machine and I was wondering if I can use the appserver (where WO is installed along with JavaMail) as a mailserver as well?
I would like to know about this because I read in the documentation that JavaMail can talk to the mailserver (authenticate class) and then retrieve messages.
Can a server hosting JavaMail also act as a mailserver ? I want to know because if my webserver is also a mailserver I will get the postmaster email and then javamail can read that and inform the application of bounced emails, right?
I ask because this is what I am trying to implement : I have a web interface that can send emails. What is different about this mailto form is that the "From" field can be specified by the user. So you can use our mailserver to send emails under your own email (which can be yahoo/aol whatever).
Now the message is relayed by JavaMail to our mailserver which then sends it to the recipients. If the email bounces it goes to our mail server and the person sending the email. Now after an email is sent the application can no longer know if the email bounced or if it was undeliverable. How can my application communicate with the mailserver and know of any bounced emails ?
