Abstract
A system for managing email failure notification. The system comprises a data store to store message identifiers for sent emails and a local server computer. The local server computer comprises an analyzer application stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, analyzes an email return notification comprising information about a failed email, wherein the analyzer application obtains the email return notification via the return path address defined in the return path attribute, reads an entry from the data store based on a message identifier in the email return notification, and updates the entry based on the message identifier. The local server computer further comprises a resolution application stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, reads entries from the data store associated with failed emails, builds a table on a website with failed email information, and maintains statistics for failed emails.
