somewhat OT : dumb email question

[Josh Mellicker]

A 'bounced' email will return to the sender, often with a message  
containing "Undeliverable" or similar.

One trick to identify bad emails in a list is to set the "Reply-To:"  
and "Envelope" to different email addresses, so that if an actual  
person hits reply, it goes to you, but if the email bounces, it goes  
to an inbox that is periodically polled by an automated script which  
marks those emails as bad in the master list.
