Bounces

Introduction

As MailPress sends a specific mail for each recipient, it is possible to handle bounces individually.

To activate this add-on, go to Plugins > installed and activate MailPress_bounce_handling, then click on the settings link.

Reminder : wp_cron is NOT a scheduler like cron in unix, wp_cron will execute the scheduled job on time if your blog has some activities at that time, nothing is done in the background !

In MailPress 5.0, add-on settings are divided in two different tabs : POP3 and Batches

Settings

  1. Return-Path
  2. Max bounces per user : if threshold reached for a user, his status is converted to 'bounced'
  3. Submit batch with
    1. wp_cron
    2. other
  4. Information to connect to your pop account handling your bounces.
  5. Once founded, the bounce mail can be :
    1. without changes
    2. marked as read
    3. deleted
