I checked the Dada-Headers from this mail, there is no Priority: Priority usually helps autoresponders decide whether or not to reply. They should never reply to Priority: list, Priority: bulk, or Priority: junk emails. At least I think so. This fits nicely into the original Bounces thread; bounces due to autoresponders should be ignored, and ...Continue Reading

Heya, I just installed the new, "scoring enabled" bounce handler - let me know if anyone sees any weirdness from it (ie: random unsubscribes, etc) Also: From: Andreas Grau > 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. This is an interesting way of looking at things. I didn't think of the actions being against the actual email address, rather whatever syst ...Continue Reading

I was playing around with the bounce handler today (yeah, Sunday), since there's sort of a limitation on what it can do - Currently, the bounce handler knows about "hard" bounces and, "soft" bounces. A hard bounce is usually defined (erm, by me) as a bounced message because the email address itself does not exist. A soft bounce is basically any other type of bounce. Examples: the email box is full, the message couldn't be sent to the address because x, y or z, etc. Currently, in the bou ...Continue Reading
