Because you lowered the threshold score. This is a known issue mentioned several times on this list <http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amail.python.org++inurl%3Amailman++cron+disabled+stale+bounce> >I checked the bounce log and found entries like these: > > May 17 12:05:16 2007 (11340) listname: [EMAIL PROTECTED] current bounce > score: >4.0 > ... > Dec 06 09:00:17 2007 (13831) listname: [EMAIL PROTECTED] disabling due to > bounce >score 4.0 >= 2.0 Are you sure you lowered the threshold a month ago? Has cron/disabled not been running? The issue with cron/disabled disables that member the first time cron/disabled runs after the threshold is lowered to <= 4. >As a band-aid, I have re-enabled all the members and changed the bounce >settings back to 5.0 and 7. Even so, I'm afraid all members with a score of >4.0 back in May will be unsubscribed again on the next bounce. They won't and you didn't have to raise the threshold. When you reenabled delivery, any bounce info was removed. >Two questions: >1. Why isn't stale bounce processing resetting the scores for these members? If a fresh bounce had arrived, it would have reset the stale score, but cron/disabled which primarily sends notices and unsubscribes disabled members after their warnings are exhausted also checks to see if any enabled members exceed the threshold (in case the threshold is lowered). The issue is cron/disabled doesn't check to see if the bounce info is fresh. >2. Is there a way I can force all the scores to be reset now? You already did by reenabling the members. Note: I'm going to fix cron/disabled for the 2.1.10 final release. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
