Newsletter Bounce Management Addon GPL v1.3.3

The Newsletter Bounce Management Addon GPL is an experimental extension designed to help manage bounced emails when sending newsletters. It analyzes delivery error messages (DSNs) that indicate issues with email delivery, such as invalid or unreachable email addresses. By detecting these bounces, the addon ensures that problematic email addresses are marked and excluded from future communications.

Overview:

• Bounce Detection: The addon attempts to detect bounced emails by analyzing delivery error notifications (DSNs) received after sending newsletters. It marks invalid or unreachable email addresses as “bounced” to prevent future attempts to contact them.
• Improved Email List Quality: By identifying and managing bounced emails, the addon helps maintain the quality of your subscriber list, ensuring that only valid email addresses are targeted.

Key Features:

1. Bounce Analysis:
   • The addon analyzes bounce-back error messages (DSNs) to determine the cause of the failure (e.g., temporary or permanent issues) and identifies whether the error is related to an email address in your database.
2. Marking Bounced Emails:
   • When a bounce is detected, the corresponding email address is marked as “bounced” and excluded from future newsletters, preventing further delivery attempts to invalid addresses.
3. Experimental Nature:
   • This is an experimental extension, and while it aims to detect bounces, it may not be able to handle all types of bounce messages. It is recommended to use a professional email delivery service for optimal bounce management.
4. Improved List Hygiene:
   • By automatically managing bounced emails, the addon helps improve your email list hygiene, ensuring that your newsletters are sent to valid and reachable addresses, ultimately improving deliverability.

This addon is useful for newsletter managers who want to automate the process of handling bounced emails, but it is important to note that it is experimental and may not catch all bounce scenarios. For more reliable bounce management, using a professional email delivery service is advised.
