About PHPMailer-BMH (Bounce Mail Handler):

Bounce mail management is an area that is largely ignored by PHP developers. There are no comprehensive scripts available, yet it is one area decidedly in need.

What is PHPMailer-BMH (Bounce Mail Handler)?

Whenever you send an email campaign, you must prepare for an avalanche of undeliverable mail.

All the bounced messages to email addresses that are out of date, never existed, whose mailbox is full or otherwise inaccessible will be returned undeliverable (bounced).

Sending your email campaigns to these addresses every time is a costly waste of time and effort. Manually cleaning your list manually takes a lot of time and effort.

Now PHPMailer-BMH is available. Using a customizable set of rules it detects and extracts email addresses with delivery failures. We provide an easy way to deal with the email addresses of these bounced emails through a callback function that you can customize to your needs. We have included samples for the three most common processes: echo to screen, update database (and echo to screen), and create CSV file (and echo to screen). The entire process of dealing with your bounced emails can be totally automated and within your own environment and control.

Using PHPMailer-BMH is fairly simple.

The documentation includes all methods, and all properties. There is an index.php sample script that is comprehensive.

There are also three sample callback functions: one to echo back to the screen, one to output the PHPMailer-BMH results to a CSV file, and one to output the PHPMailer-BMH results to a MySQL database (and all echo back to the screen).

PHPMailer-BMH (Bounce Mail Handler) can be used on remote mailboxes as well as local directories to process .eml files. See the index.php file for usage.

We invite you to test-drive the new PHPMailer-BMH today!
