Ed -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Ferrin Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2015 9:21 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] more about bouncing email messages and what to do First let me explain what a bouncing message is and the 2 types there are. Now this list generates a huge amount of email during the course of an average day. For example once I send this message out to the list the server will send a copy to everybody who is set to receive mail currently over 600 members. Now as we all know the internet is perfect and nothing ever goes wrong. I almost couldn't keep a straight face while writing that last sentence. So let's say the impossible happens and somebody's message doesn't get delivered because their ISP is down or some other imaginary condition. Then that message bounces back to the server. At that point the Mailman server program makes a note of it and after a few such bounces stops sending out messages to you. Then it sends out reactivation notices which I will post a sample of at the end of this long email. The other type is when somebody does not check their email for a time and their inbox fills up and can't hold any more messages. Kind of like when you go to leave a voice message only to hear the voice mailbox is full and can't receive any more messages. Of course as we all know everybody on here checks their email 14 times a day so that can't possibly happen either. So say that it is at a point where 40 people post in a short period of time when somebody else's' email starts bouncing. All of a sudden the server is getting 40 messages bouncing from person X, so it disables that account. All that means is at that point it is going to send out notices. If you simply hit reply and send on the notice your account is reactivated. If you don't after a few days the server will simply remove you because that is how it is programmed to react. Believe me boys and girls having done bounce handling manually on Yahoo groups it was like a birthday present to have the server do it for us. I remember Rick saying "oh no, say it isn't so" when I told him about it. Pretty nice for us all right. Even if you get removed by the server for bouncing messages you are still free to sign up again. Although we have done it the fact is unless you do something pretty bad you can still join up again hopefully after reviewing the guidelines more closely, but I digress. Yes in case you're wondering we can block somebody from returning to the list if need be, but it's been quite a while since the last time we did that particular thing. So now it is time for an example message from the Mailman server. I hope everybody has followed along, I'm getting $0.10 for word.
