Detailed Statistics

Hey all. I'm in the process of creating a custom marketing newsletter site to replace my company's dependence on Constant Contact (http://www.constantContact.com). For all of the mailing I've opted to go with SwiftMailer, feeling it was the better library out of the available ones.
My problem is CC provides some pretty scary statistics that my company relies on. Some of these statistics include: bounces, opens, forwards, and clicks. Out of bounces they have different types, non existent addresses, undeliverable, mailbox full, vacation/auto reply, other, and blocked.
I have tried to find something similar on this forum, but haven't had too much luck. I think I understand what direction to head towards for some of those stats, opens being read receipts (is there a more reliable way though?), the rest I'm assuming are determined by SMTP error codes returned to the address specified in setReturnPath. Is there any way to retrieve and log the various stats without custom writing something to parse through emails sent to setReturnPath? I really don't have the time to get into something like that, but they need these statistics.[/url]
