[WSBAPT] Welcome to the new list host

[Tom Stuen]

Judy:  Here is what I was told:

 

Hi Tom,

 

When an email message cannot be delivered to an email address, it's called a
bounce.  The short answer is that the issue is likely related to your email
server, and that it should be temporary. However, if you continue to
experience bounce issues, please let us know, and I can have the listserv
administrators investigate your specific issues. 

 

Here is what our system administrators have to say about bounces in general:

 

Posts from AOL and YAHOO members are sometimes rejected by certain service
providers, such as Comcast. When enough of these happen in a row, the list
will automatically suspend these accounts because it believes the email
addresses are invalid. 

 

Why is this happening? Because AOL, YAHOO, Comcast all participate in an
anti-spam policy called "DMARC." AOL and Yahoo have their DMARC polices set
to "bounce anything claiming to be from yahoo.com that actually doesn't come
from our servers." Since these AOL and Yahoo posts to the list are coming
from the list server (and not a Yahoo server), Comcast is rejecting them.
This is exactly what AOL and YAHOO want to happen.

 

Google supports DMARC, but they auto-flag the email as spam instead of
rejecting it outright. Hotmail also supports DMARC, but I'm unsure how they
handle it internally (they could be bouncing / getting unsubscribed as
well).

 

We do not see that comcast.net reports (or at least, our mail server does
not record it reporting) any reason for its not accepting mail from that
list.  It does accept it almost always, but a handful of times each month,
transmissions to comcast.net from the list have ended with the response
"Service unavailable".  This could be a spam block (our mail server is not
on any blacklists, so likely the content of the list post would have to look
spamish) or it could be a server failure or interruption of any other kind.

 

I hope this helps!

Can somebody please explain to me why I keep getting "bounced" and am no
longer receiving listserve emails?

 

Thank you!
