New Tool: ListNanny.NET

Another kick arse tool from Dave W. 

ListNanny.NET is a .NET bounced email parsing component. Use ListNanny to clean your email list and remove dead, fake, or bad email addresses. ListNanny uses advanced string and pattern matching technology and logic to parse bounced emails into the following categories:

• AddressChange -- The recipient has requested an address change.
• AutoResponder -- Automatic email responder ( ex: 'Out of Office' or 'On Vacation')
• DnsError -- A temporary DNS error.
• HardBounce -- The server was unable to deliver your message (ex: unknown user, mailbox not found)
• OpenRelayTest -- The NDR is actually a test email message to see if the mail server is an open relay.
• SoftBounce -- Unable to temporarily deliver message (i.e. mailbox full, account disabled, exceeds quota, out of disk space)
• SpamNotification -- The message was delivered, but was either blocked by the user, or classified as spam, bulk mail, or had rejected content.
• Subscribe -- Subscribe request from someone wanting to get added to the mailing list.
• Transient -- The server couldn't temporarily deliver your message
• Unknown -- Unable to classify the NDR
• Unsubscribe -- Unsubscribe or Remove request
• VirusNotification -- The bounce is actually a virus notification warning about a virus/code infected message.

Based upon these classifications, you can use ListNanny to build simple to complex bounced email removal rules.
