Re: Bounce Handler News - Introduction of Scoring

Fine and dandy This whole idea works once you have a threshold you

This basically gives the email address and the email addresses'
server's bouncing mechanism - and your mailing list, a little bit
more forgiveness And it's what everyone else seems to be doing :)
This whole strategy is based on punishment: Each time you don't accept my message, I will remember And one day, enough is enough, and I have a long memory, I will kick you
To call it a forgiving strategy, any successfull sending should be honored:
An accepted e-mail after a hard-bounce clearly (?) shows that the prior hard bounce was an error elsewhere
An accepted e-mail after a soft-bounce "mailbox full" showed that the owner has emptied his mailbox
Some sort of a 'tit for tat' strategy would be more fitting, imho http://en wikipedia org/wiki/Tit_for_Tat But then, I have no idea if the problem really is big enough to justinfy (sic!) the efforts
Other thoughts that I have in this context: - Maybe it would be possible to take the SpamAssasin score into consideration A sending with a high SA score can probably be expected to have a higher bounce rate - AOL addresses are notorious bouncers - shall they have an extra credit before removal - Do we need a report "20% away from removal", so the list owner can proactively engage with these candidates In commercial environments, this may give bonus points for customer orientation
Thanks, Justin!
