Processing SMTP bounces with .net

Question

Am looking for examples specific to .net/mvc and servers native WinServer08 where problem being addressed is processing a bounced smtp msg so as to bind to an estore transaction and updating account/profile properties.

Reading the related questions i find an interesting reference to [VERP]2. Under the heading 'Software that supports VERP i find that IIS is not on the list. Does that mean i need to find a library to integrate into my store's assembly?

What resources do I have to pull together to make sure that the webapp is informed when mail bounces? fwiw - i'm working with a very low volume site.

Answer 1

This might be too simplistic of an answer, but couldn't you just set up a mailbox, send from that mailbox, use a .NET console app to check the mailbox periodically for bounce emails, and then update your customer account accordingly? I mean, that's free... right?
