Bounce Report for July
From: Frank Reed CT
Date: 2006 Aug 2, 19:52 -0500
Excluding one list member whose email account was deleted, a total of about
fifteen NavList email messages bounced in July for a handful of list members.
That's 15 out of 60,000 (a bit less than 600 messages in the month
multiplied by a bit more than 100 users participating in the list via email). One
message in 4000 is very good and nothing to worry about. Nonetheless, I would
like to give everyone a heads-up about two systematic issues:
1) Several list members, whom I have mostly emailed already, have had mail
bounced during the past 90 days because of a service called "spamcop" though
apparently only two mails bounced in July because of this service. It is used
by smaller ISP's, and in some ways it is solution worse than the problem.
2) AOL users bounced a few emails in July. As some of you may know, AOL is
in the process of changing its business model. They're making most of the
service available for free to users with broadband connections. Partly because of
these changes (I believe), their email servers have been bouncing occasional
messages. I have two AOL addresses signed on to NavList. Just today --the
day the big announcement was made-- one account failed to receive two messages.
The other had no problems. There are only five members of NavList who use
AOL for email, but I wanted you to be aware that you may have email troubles
during the next thirty days. As always, you can check for messages via the web
interface when in doubt. And I promise I will get the fer3.com web-based
archive caught up this week, too!
