The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Mark London <address@concealed>]

Tom - There is a link called "View Last Bounce" when you click on a person's email address, if their email has been bouncing.   Once the person's email starts to work, then the last bounce message does disappear.   However, if a person's bounce count is greater than 0, the last error status is saved, and that could still be viewed, when clicking on the person's email address.   Although I'm just in the process of configuring Sympa, so I don't know how quickly long the status and bounce count is stored for a user.    Someone else here should be able to tell you that.

As an aside, the information about a person's bounced status is displayed at below their subscriber's information.    I 0have modified my template so that it is displayed at the top of the web page.  I figure that this information is more critical to see first, IMHO.

Hi -

It would be nice if there was a way to retain copies of bounced messages with each list for easy viewing.  I run a site (bahai.email) with more than 150 lists and have a lot of people who go over quota with their cell providers all the time then write in saying they are not getting posts.  That makes me crazy due to site volume - the site serves more than 12,000 people and sends roughly 8,000 pieces of mail on an average day.

As a workaround I have bounce messages go to private list(s) with only a couple members that review the contents.  My lists are geographically oriented, I have one bounce list per region.

Thanks for a great platform!!

Ok, I just found the "view last bounce" link after,  after first licking
on the link, sent in the "You should delete bouncing subscribers"
email.  Then I have to login to the site, and then click on the email
address, and then click on the "view last bounce" link.    It would nice
if either the bounced message, or the "view last bounce" link, was
already in the notification email itself, in order to help decide
whether the bounces are worth looking at. Unless there is a known way to
configure this already, I'm going to modify the notification email to
include that information.   Thanks.
