The short answer is no, sorry.
(Standing out on limb) I claim there will never be a program invented
that can decipher the crap that some mailers pass back as a bounced
message. I have had numberous messages where the address that caused
the bounce wasn't even given in the message. I had to resort to
analyzing the Received: header lines to try to figure out what was
going on.
Not only that, but the multitude of formats for bounce messages is
just rediculous. How may of us have <F1> keys on your keyboards that
work right anyway. (The previous line was a reference to a thread on this
list and the list-managers list about a certain mail program that said
to hit <F1> to get more info about the bounced mail message.)
