JavaMail can't by itself but the Apache project James does:

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 ?
