Re: Managing bouncers
#membership
The problem I see with your plan is that if their email is bouncing they won't receive your mass email to them. I agree with you about cleaning out non-working addresses. Here is the plan I have devised.

- If the bouncing address is for someone I know and/or I have an alternate means of contacting them, then check with them about the issue. - Otherwise wait until they are changed to Bounced (a red B) from Bouncing (a blue B). - At that point send an email directly to their address. - If this email bounces remove them from the list. - If it doesn't bounce then leave them on the list and wait for their response. - If more than 15 days have passed and the address hasn't been changed to Bounced (a red B), but is still marked as Bouncing (a blue B), send an email to try to figure out what the problem might be. (Sometimes it takes a bit more than 15 days for the change to happen.) When I first moved my lists to Groups.io there were several bouncing members. Probably close to 10%. Almost all had a reason for bouncing of "invalid address" or something similar. My impression is that Yahoo hadn't been marking bouncing subscribers for some time and so quite a few had accumulated. All of them eventually turned red and I made a special attempt to contact them which failed and they have been removed. Now things have settled down with only the very occasional bouncing address.

We transferred to groups io from Y! recently and we have 50+ members in blue Bounce status. I¡¯ve read a number of posts here on managing bouncers and have come up with the following observations and plan. If I¡¯m wrong in my observations or anyone has ideas on improving on the plan, I¡¯d appreciate comments. |
