[FX.php List] How do you handle failed transactional emails?

[Michael Sloper]

We were frustrated with our own mail mail host and switched to using Mandrill for this which specializes in transactional email. They have some nice tools and it is free until you send over 12K emails a month.  I know this isn't exactly what you were asking about but this was a noticeable improvement for us.
