This is somewhat related to the "bouncing accounts" thread but I felt it warranted a separate topic.

One of my co-owners recently fat-fingered a Direct Add, entering the wrong email address. As you might expect, within a week this account was in Bouncing status. I caught the error and unsubbed the account from the group and did another Direct Add to bring that person into the fold.

So now we have an active account that's already in Bouncing status and is totally in limbo. And it seems to me that as GIO grows, such accounts are proliferating at some unknown rate.

What happens if someone later comes along and tries to subscribe to some GIO groups with this same email address? It seems that person will be surprised to find that they already have an account...even more surprising is that they can't get any email delivery.

This is just an example. I'm not convinced that this and related scenarios have been completely thought through. If someone can point me to a previous thread to that effect I'd appreciate it.

Regards,
Bruce
