Re: Dropping a member after repeated bounces

Bruce,
>? a bouncing email address is a user account issue, not a group issue
For me, it's neither -- it's a communications issue.? My first groups.io group is a small one composed of people responsible for projects at our association.? I don't expect any bounces, since these are people I work closely with.? A bounce means someone is suddenly out of the loop and I would dearly love to know about it, so I can deal with it.? Suggestion: Adding a parameter that lets the group's owner decide if they wants to be notified of a bounce.

Think about an option in the group settings to notify the owner/moderators by email when someone is marked as a Bouncer, so we can investigate proactively, instead of having to remember to check the membership list from time to time.?
I agree something like that would be kinda helpful at times. I think the logic behind NOT doing that is that a bouncing email address is a user account issue, not a group issue; and that information is stored in a separate database. Picture the scenario of one person who is subscribed to 50 groups, experiences a bounced message, and suddenly 50 group owners are sending him bounce probes to remedy a situation that occurred with only one message delivery. ?
