A colleague and I just put together and extension for bounce processing when using SparkPost for email delivery. It would be really cool if any of you guys using SparkPost could give it a try and provide some feedback.

https://github.com/proexchange/com.pesc.sparkpost

The jist of what it does:

adds a tag to all outgoing civimail messages, i add the civi-generated return-path as a tag, because like most smtp services, sparkpost strips out the return-path header for its own.
adds a schdeuled job that uses sparkpost api to fetch bounce events and processes their bounces in civi. I use the hash included in the tag (return-path) i inserted in the smtp header
add bounce type and pattern that helps with marking emails on hold in civi that sparkpost has added to it's suppression list

This sounds very timely! A major emailer recently changed their terms-of-service, so there's been interest in new delivery options.

FWIW, I heard about another extension being developed contemporaneously (same week). It might be good for you to compare notes with Nicolas (at CiviDesk) -- e.g. are there differences in the features? How much work is expected to maintain either extension?
