Yeah did something similair a number of yeah ago, but was not with TomCat. Instead used ACS, Oracle Server and qmail, where we used oracle to read the mail messages, from qmail store, into the database and the ACS to read those messages. Cannot remember off the top of my head how it was done, but we had set the bounce back to a unique id which qmail would associate with a mailbox for us. Will try and dig out how it all work properly later.

Does anybody know of any good Java/servlet code that handles email bounce processing? When our automated systems send an email that bounces (lots of hotmail bounce if the user has an account but just hasn't logged in the past 30 days), we'd like a "somewhat reliable" mechanism to associate the bounce with a transaction in our system. I'd guess I'd put a special header in so that bounces that return headers or return the original message can be parsed. I've seen some mailman type code, but they rely on the SMTP server being able to handle mangled email addresses, but that's not generally an option for us as we often need to rely on existing SMTP systems in which at best we can configure the return path to be a given mailbox that we can analyze.
