David Liddle <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #14 from David Liddle <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Thomas Klausner from comment #13) > Coming here from the thread "gmail account disabled - how to proceed?" on > the koha mailing list, where someone posted that they where blocked by > Google because of a high number of bounced messages. > > In another non-Koha project I have to send a lot of mail and we're using > self-hosted mail infra. We learned that we have to very closely monitor > bounces and do not send further mails to users that have permanent bounces. > > We do this by actually handling the incoming bounce mails, extracting the > bounced email and setting the users to "blocked". And then we don't send > them any more mails (at least until they change their email or we manually > unblock them after inspecting the cause) > > I'm not sure how and if something like this would make sense to add to Koha. > It would be rather complex, because getting the bounces greatly depends on > the mail infra you use. We found that a web-hook / API-Endpoint that takes > the email address and message id and then find the mail and set the user to > "bounced" works quite well: Some of the bigger transactional mail providers > will hit the web-hook; and for self-hosted mail infra we wrote an incoming > mail parser that extracts the info and then hits the web-hook. > > BTW, regarding the original question: There is no way to check if a mail > exists except sending a mail and checking for a bounce. Which is NOT > RECOMMENDED!! I'm with Thomas here... I think that a means of parsing bounces, flagging the relevant accounts, and disabling notifications for those patrons is a great idea. That keeps the process internal and effective. Using an external service to check address validity would pose issues of privacy, among other things. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
