The most comprehensive add-on tool for GoldMine for handling your bounceback emails.
When an email is sent out with a bad address, the SMTP server mail administrator sends it back with the bad email address somewhere in the body of the message.
Because the "From" address is the mail administrator and not the bad email address, GoldMine can't link it to the original contact.
Usually that means visually looking for the email address in the body and then searching GoldMine for it.
With BounceLinker, there is no need to search for email addresses in GoldMine. BounceLinker can do it all for you!
BounceLinker features:
- Uses GoldMine email folders and email rules for processing
- Matches email addresses found in bounceback emails to existing email addresses in GoldMine
- Links the bounceback email and history records to the correct contact in GoldMine
- Processes bounceback emails and remove/unsubscribe emails with different settings saved for each
- Available in 3 Editions for you to choose the functions your company needs
Advanced Processing Options:
- Update any contact1 or contact2 field in GoldMine
- Schedule a pending activity for any user in GoldMine
- Attach a track
- Add or remove an email merge code on matched emails
- Delete bad email addresses, delete bounceback emails or delete bounceback history
- Delete the entire matching contact record
- Update history reference with bad email address
- Save bad email addresses to a file
Other Settings:
- Already configured to catch bouncebacks from many SMTP servers and easily customizable for new SMTP bounceback styles
- Configuration Wizard for easy setup
- Comprehensive help file

BounceLinker Version 3.0 Standard & Pro Edition
The Standard & Pro Edition of BounceLinker is a powerful tool that will link your bounceback emails to the correct contact in GoldMine. It also includes a comprehensive set of advanced processing functions not found in the Lite Edition. You can ask BounceLinker to update the matched contact in GoldMine by updating a field value, scheduling an activity, attaching a track and many other possible actions.
The Standard & Pro Edition Engine is accompanied by a Bounce Contract that will allow BounceLinker to process 5000 successful bounces or remove/unsubscribe emails. Multiple Bounce Contracts can be purchased to increase the number of available/remaining bounces. For the Standard & Pro Edition, a Bounce Contracts is also available to allow for unlimited bounces for a one-year period. All Bounce Contracts are valid for one full year.
The Standard Edition is a mulit-user product designed for GoldMine Business Contact Manager, whereas the Pro Edition is a multi-user product designed for both GoldMine Corporate Edition and GoldMine Business Contact Manager installations that send large blasts and process a large number of bouncebacks. BounceLinker can be customized for each individual in your organization that needs to run this administrative task.
Special Notes:
- All Bounce Contracts, including the Unlimited Bounce Contract, are valid for one full year.
- The Bounce Contract is a required purchase; the Engine will not run without a valid Bounce Contract.
- Only bouncebacks/remove emails that are successfully matched to a GoldMine contact record are counted as bounces processed. Bounces that are not found are NOT deducted from the number of available or remaining bounces.
- Purchasing additional contracts of equal or greater value will automatically extend the expiration date of any existing bounces to match the new expiration date of the new bounces. In other words, if a contract with 1000 bounces remaining is expiring in 2 months and a new contract for 2000 bounces is purchased, all 3000 bounces will now have a 1 year life.

The unlock code will be valid for 48 hours after it is supplied. If installation is not performed within 48 hours, you will have to contact support for a new unlock code.
