Re: Bouncing YMail Members ID'd After Transfer - J_Catlady Follow Up Post

Hi Bruce,
I now have 55 bouncing, 3 were added in the last couple of hours. Of the 55, 5 are not Yahoo and 5 are set to? Special Delivery, the same as on YGroups because we didn't allow No Mail. Sadly, there are several active members on the bounce list. I hope this is temporary.?
2 of the 3 recently added bounces received email shortly before bouncing the next one. One of the bounces replied to the topic and then bounced the reply.?
I'd suggest that everyone check their groups to see if they are getting Yahoo bounces. It looks like Yahoo may have something going on. Thanks for the suggestions,

Paul -- My experience suggests this problem has little to do with whether they were using Yahoo as an email server.
Check their account settings on the old Yahoo group. I suspect 80-90% were set to "no email." They probably changed email addresses long ago and decided to change their delivery preferences instead of unsubscribing.?
If you don't have a valid email address, there is nothing you can do. Groups.io will continue to send bounce probes for awhile before giving up.?At that point you should probably delete their subscriptions.?If you lose a few members that haven't been participating anyway, you haven't lost much.

P.S. If they want to, members have the option of setting up email aliasing on their account page. As a group owner, you cannot do this for them.
