For various reasons, I had to run an address probe on one of my lists today
to find a misbehaving but well-closed address.One thing I wanted to track was what percentage of the list comes back in some way. Of the 2000ish on the list, I ended up getting 38 bounces back (so far). Of those bounces, about 1/3 were being processed by the bounce system but not terminated. The other 2/3 were unprocessable for various reasons. I was able to manually deal with all of them, FWIW. Overall, that means that about 2% of the mail list was bouncing but not removed from the list. To me, with a fully automated system, that's not bad. It indicates it probably makes sense to do subscription validation probing on a manual basiis once in a while, and why we need to look at VERP and processing password reminders and the like, but I think it shows the bounce system works pretty well. I'll be curious what happens when I get 2.1 live and in production... Just FYI.
