Delivery Failure and Undeliverable
I sent a private message to each member of the Yahoo group I am having transferred. I got 14 'Delivery Failure' and 'Undeliverable:' messages back. If my actual membership is only reduced by 14 that is not bad at all. What I need to know is this. If I keep these 14 as part of the membership that Support will be transferring to Groups.io, will it cause a problem with the transfer? I do not understand most of what is said in these messages and so I don't want to start deleting members and then discover it was a temporary inability to deliver a message.

It shouldn't cause any problem.? If they can't be contacted when the transfer is done, they just won't be copied to the new group.

It should not be a problem. Any account marked as "bouncing" in Yahoo won't be copied to groups.io. When the transfer is complete, you will receive a summary message of all accounts that were not copied, for whatever reason.
Be advised that, in addition to those who were bouncing beforehand, about half the people we had set to "no email" and "special notices" began to bounce afterward. These were folks who probably closed an email account and for some reason found doing this to be easier than simply unsubscribing. Frankly, it was pretty obvious that these folks weren't interested in participating anyway; and I wonder now why I even bothered to chase any of them down. Bruce? |

A 3,000-member group whom I helped with their move immediately had about 200 members with a red "B." We removed them all. Some had joined over 10 years ago.

And my 3200+ at the time 20 year old group had some 600 Yahoo bouncers.?
Yahoo has a policy of closing accounts that are not accessed by the "owner" at some unspecified and apparently variable frequency. I call these people Zombies.? They are there but not alive. The fact that they have not been automatically removed by Yahoo from their groups is a testament to the attention that Yahoo pays to the groups. Their bread a butter has been hosting ATT and Verizon email service. Forget groups -- Bob Bellizzi The Corneal Dystrophy Foundation |
Same with my group. It had close to 600 members at transfer time. I sent private emails to all of them. The ones that were bounced I removed. Some adresses didn?t exist any more; others obviously forgot that they joined the group up to 12 years ago. ? This is a good way of getting rid of inactive members. Victoria ?
