Re: Bouncing Members

David,
That seems a bit high. I'm not sure if it's because they wereThe exact cause is that they were listed on the Bouncing tab of the Members list in the Yahoo Group. It may be either too high or too low, depending on circumstance. The rejection tracking mechanism in Yahoo Groups has been broken for some time, so that list will likely contain both false positives and false negatives. "This is to notify you that user@... has left your group ...These would be people who received the "You've been added" notice and chose to opt out. Or people who unsubscribed later. For whatever reason, you can only speculate unless you contact them. ... but how can if figure out which 282 were "bouncing" to help themProbably the majority of those are actually "dead" email addresses. But in there may be some false positives, addresses that are now functional, but weren't at some point, as well as addresses that might reject all Yahoo Group messages but be functional otherwise. You could try to address this by exporting the Bouncing list from your Yahoo Group and send each of those addresses an inquiry using your personal email to find out which ones work and which don't. Or, Invite that list to your Groups.io group. The bounce tracking done by Groups.io will immediately identify which of those rejected the Invitation. Having a Premium group, you could do the same test using the Direct Add page, however the downside is that then you've needlessly added a bunch of bouncing addresses to your Members list. You are also likely to see some number of false negatives: addresses that were bad, but not detected by Yahoo Groups. Those have likely already been put into Bouncing status in your Groups.io group, as a result of rejecting the "you've been added" notice and/or your group's Welcome notice.
