EmailBounceBack Job


You create and configure an EmailBounceBack job to flag invalid email addresses. The EmailBounceBack job processes a UTF-8 file generated by your SMTP email server that contains the invalid email addresses of undeliverable notifications and flags the invalid addresses in the appropriate user profiles. The next time a user flagged with an invalid email address logs in, the screen prompts him or her to enter a new email address.

You must configure your SMTP server to generate a data file containing invalid email addresses from undeliverable Oracle Billing Insight notifications only.

The EmailBounceBack job consists of two tasks:

  • Scanner
  • ProcessEmailBouncebackFile
