Database Mail: getting bounce info from Exchange?

Database Mail only sends SMTP email messages and logs problems
connecting to the mail server. However, I also need to log bounced
emails (bad address, etc).
Are there any clean ways to do this with Database Mail and Exchange?
Or will I have to mix Database Mail with SQL Mail to read bounces out
of the inbox? Or, have a .NET windows service that talks to the
Exchange API?

I'd have a separate API that handles this. It's not really a good duty for
SQL Server.
