email - don't want any reply

patftrears

I'm using Apache Commons in an app to send emails.
http://commons.apache.org/email/ all good.
Using the smtp server on my hosting account.
So email would be

SimpleEmail email = new SimpleEmail();
email.setHostName("mail.domain.com");
email.addTo("jhhgjh@office.com", "John Doe");
email.setFrom("noreply@domain.com","Company");
email.setSubject("new email");
email.setMsg("hello world");
email.send();

If there something I can set to ensure I don't get emails bounced if the address is invalid ?

Sure you'd WANT the bounced emails so that you don't keep sending to those addresses ?

it's an automated thing and some people won't have email addresses,
but will use name@company as a unique identifier.
So when they do a certain action, it grabs the email/unique identifier and firers off an email.

You might want to check out the Data Protection Act before you try that!

All emails need to be opt-in.

it's used by companies for internal stuff

we ended up setting the reply-to address to a bounced@company.com and just checking this periodically to delete messages so it won't overload.
