Bounce Fetcher

A set of tools for processing email bounces in a flexible way.

Usage

bounces = BounceFetcher.pop3('pop3.host.com', 'username', 'password')
bounces.each do |email|
  # do something application specific
  # For example: User.bounce_email(email)
end

This will fetch each email from the POP3 server specified, if the email is a determined to be a permanent bounce, we will attempt to determine what email address the bounce is for, yield it to the block, and the email will be deleted from the POP3 server.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.
  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.
  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
