Features

This library is used at Crisp everyday to parse bounce emails.
It supports most variations of bounce emails (Postfix, Dovecat, Gmail, Outlook).

Usage

``js
const EmailBounceParse = require("email-bounce-parser-browser");

const result = new EmailBounceParse().read(MY_EMAIL_STRING);

console.log(result);
`

API

$3

read(body) parses the bounce email and extracts available information (error code and type, server, original recipient, etc.):
* body must be a string representing the bounce email text body (not HTML body). You can use mailparser for example.

`js
const EmailBounceParse = require("email-bounce-parser");

const result = new EmailBounceParse().read(MY_EMAIL_STRING);

console.log(result);
// {
// bounce: true,
//
// email: {
// body: "This is the mail system at host mailer.acme.email [...] (in reply to RCPT TO command)",
// intro: "This is the mail system at host mailer.acme.email [...] The mail system",
// error: ": host smtp.secureserver.net[92.240.81.0] said: [...] (in reply to RCPT TO command)"
// },
//
// data: {
// error: {
// code: {
// basic: "550",
// enhanced: "5.1.1"
// },
// label: " Recipient not found.",
//
// type: "action_not_taken",
//
// temporary: false,
// permanent: true,
//
// data: {
// type: "no_such_user",
// blocked: false,
// spam: false
// }
// },
//
// recipient: "john@yipee.com",
//
// server: {
// hostname: "smtp.secureserver.net",
// ip: "92.240.81.0",
// port: "25"
// },
//
// command: "RCPT TO"
// }
// }
