EasyMail.Net BounceBuster is the only bounce analysis component to report
both the type and category of each bounced message, making database
updates and reporting a snap.

Custom |
The message was detected by a custom signature. EasyMail.Net BounceBuster
enables developers to define their own bounce analysis signatures using regular
expressions. Custom signatures may be setup to trigger any one of the
predefined bounce categories, however if a developer wants to create new
categories for bounced messages, they may specify this "custom" category when
defining their analysis signature. Each custom signature may be
given a unique id, which is returned when a match is found, so that an
unlimited number of custom categories may be defined by the developer. |

The category of the bounce could not be
