Subject: Can JavaMail Act as MailServer?
> 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 ?
