Get response after sending email

PHP
1

I have sent email successfully.Now i want php code to get response after sending email i.e whether it is opened,bounced,delievered…so on
can anyone help me

I use code that checks the address prior to sending, so if it bounces, it doesn’t send.


function checkEmail($email){
 // checks proper syntax
 if(preg_match("/^( [a-zA-Z0-9] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9\\._-] )*@( [a-zA-Z0-9_-] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9\\._-] +)+$/" , $email)){
  // gets domain name
  list($username,$domain)=split('@',$email);
  // checks for if MX records in the DNS
  if(!checkdnsrr($domain, 'MX')){
   return false;
  }
  // attempts a socket connection to mail server
  if(!fsockopen($domain,25,$errno,$errstr,30)){
   return false;
  }
  return true;
 }
 return false;
}
function customCheckDnsrr($host,$recType=''){
 if(!empty($host)){
  if($recType=='') $recType="MX";
  exec("nslookup -type=$recType $host",$output);
  foreach($output as $line) {
   if(preg_match("/^$host/", $line)){
    return true;
   }
  }
  return false;
 }
 return false;
}

Yes, so you make your sending mail function say: if not verified, don’t send, telling you it is fake/spam e-mail address. So if sent it would bounce, which is one of the things you wanted :wink: If it is verified, it gets delivered, which is also on your list. For your third, opened, all users need to use the same hosting. The two places I seen this work is in business where the business has it’s own e-mail server and everybody uses MS Outlook. The second place is when I used AOL (I stopped around 1999), again this only worked for aol to aol e-mail. If you sent to yahoo, it would never say opened.

Where are you getting a response from? Once an e-mail is sent, it’s off your system and you can’t do anything with it anymore.

To track how many mails have been opened, you could put a 1*1 pixel image in the mail which is served off your server. If the image is downloaded, then a mail has been opened. You could even send some extra codes along in the request for the image so that you know which email has been opened.

However, most people I know don’t download images by default, so it won’t be a very accurate measurement.
