What happens if my email account starts bouncing list messages?
John Stewart writes: Just to let you all know, smoe.org handles bounces just a little bit differently than yoyo did. When you start bouncing mail from FTE or FTE-Digest, you will be uns*bbed from whichever [or both in some cases – some of y’all are nuts :-)] list. You will be simultaneously s*bbed to a temporary list called “bounces”. This list sends mail to you–as soon as it can get access to your account–letting you know that your account was temporarily uns*bbed, on what date and for which list. It also gives you directions on getting back on the list again, or so I’m told:-) In any event, this way you won’t just randomly disappear from the list like would occasionally happened at yoyo. If your ISP replies with an “account closed”, or “inactive” or “no longer accepting mail from this sender” or any of the myriad other options that basically mean you aren’t taking any mail at that address any more, permanently: you’ll just be uns*bbed from FTE and not s*bbed to bounces.
