POP Account Field Descriptions
Folder Path: This is the path to an existing folder you want BounceStudio Enterprise to monitor. To select a folder, click the "..." button next to the text box. BE VERY CAREFUL when selecting a folder, because BounceStudio Enterprise will delete files from the folder you select once it is done processing each file.
File Type: Currently, BounceStudio Enterprise parses text based message files that are RFC 822 compliant. For an example of what an RFC 822 compliant text based message file looks like, click HERE, or see below. Watch for new file formats in the future (i.e. PowerMTA log files).

Ignore Extensions: Sometimes email servers will create multiple files for a single bounced message. For instance, in the case of Microsoft's IIS SMTP Server you'll see 3 files that pertain to a single bounced email message. Each file has a different extension (i.e. .bdp, .bdr, and .bad). The only files that BounceStudio Enterprise needs to be concerned with in this case are the ".bad" files. You can tell BounceStudio to ignore the ".bdp" and ".bdr" files using this setting. You can enter multiple extensions here, just make sure they are each delimited by a space character. See screenshot above. If BounceStudio encounters these files, it will delete them without parsing them.
Mandatory Ignored Extensions: By default, and as a safety precaution, BounceStudio Enterprise will ALWAYS ignore the file extensions listed below. BounceStudio will not parse and will not delete files with these extensions. If you're careful with your folder selection above then BounceStudio should never encounter these files, but it's better to error on the side of caution.

Reply-To Address: The "Reply-To" email address is the email address that is used when your email recipients hit "reply" to your messages. When they hit "reply", their email message is sent to the "Reply-To" email box. It's highly recommended that you have two email boxes for all of your opt-in email communications. One email box for all of your "bounces" to go too, and one email box for all of your "replies" to go too. Having two email boxes for all of your opt-in email communications will allow all of the "email bounces" to end up in one email box, and all of the "replies" to end up in a separate email box. Doing this will improve BounceStudio Enterprise performance tremendously because BounceStudio Enterprise won't have to parse all of your "non-bounce" replies.
Ignore Addresses: The "Ignore Addresses" field isn't used by BounceStudio Enterprise in all cases. Sometimes BounceStudio Enterprise knows that a message is a bounce, but for some reason the email address of the recipient isn't in the position that BounceStudio Enterprise is expecting it to be in. When this occurs, BounceStudio Enterprise does a deeper scan of the bounced message to find the proper recipient email address. BounceStudio Enterprise doesn't want to pass back the From, Reply-To, or the Ignore Addresses of the original sender by mistake, so it checks for these while calculating who the original recipient was. You do not need to re-enter your "From" and "Reply-To" email addresses here, but you may use this field for any other email addresses that may appear in your outbound messages.
You can enter several email addresses in this field if you need too. Just make sure you separate each email address with a PIPE character. For example:
support@acme.com|accounting@acme.com
