Hi Orange is an ISP and as far as I can remember, they do not provide free mail address.
When people are shutting down their internet account, Orange is asking them to take necessary measures to also shut down the mailbox. Mailbox will stay accessible for 6 months and then shut down Source : https://assistance.orange.fr/assistance-commerciale/la-gestion-de-vos-offres-et-options/resilier-votre-offre/les-conseils-avant-de-resilier-votre-messagerie-mail-orange_71178-72015 Could it be that some people just don't take necessary action regarding their mailbox when moving from an ISP to another ?

That Server has a very serious bug, instead of rejecting invalid recipients during the 'rcpt to' handshake, it does this after 'data' has been initiated by issuing a human readable message telling what recipient was invalid. This of course breaks all mailing lists or newsletter tools which send emails to as many recipients as possible to lower resource consumption.

The errors you quote translate to "user unknown". Perhaps the recipients closed their accounts? Or stopped paying their bills and their mailboxes were shut down? Continuing to send mail to mailboxes that bounce hard is unlikely to do your reputation much good!

Being a french ESP with 95% of our traffic to French ISPs, Orange foremost among them, we've never seen "false positives" regarding hard bounces with this ISP. I'm not sure they are using the xmailserver system, or at least we've never seen similar issues on our end, we send to 15 (I think, trying to remember the rates) recipients per connexion, and have not seen cases where the whole 15 of them would come bac as hard bounces because of just 1. If you want to make sure you could try to reach out to their postmaster team (if you haven't already), they do read requests and are usually very efficient in answering ESPs questions (as long as the questions are precise and well documented). Best of luck to you. Mathieu Bourdin. -----Message d'origine----- De : mailop [mailto:mailop-boun...@mailop.org] De la part de Philip Paeps Envoyé : jeudi 5 juillet 2018 13:34 À : mailop@mailop.org Objet : Re: [mailop] Orange.fr and Wanadoo.fr Hardbounces On 2018-07-05 12:47:57 (+0200), Emre Üst |euro.message| wrote: > Is there anything wrong on Orange.fr and wanadoo.fr domains lately ? > Our client's recipients went to Hard Bounces.

The domains have not gone inactive. Some spam filters reply with such 5xx errors to fend off spam. I haven't seen that @orange yet (but a large Belgium provider does it infrequently). @Philip (and Mathieu): The point that Emre is making is: - You send to e.g. a 1000 recipients one week. These recipients download images and click on links (e.g. 40% open rate and 5% click rate). Conclusion: Recipients are real and active. - The next week *all* these recipients suddenly bounce and are deactivated on his lists due to a "550 5.1.1 Adresse d au moins un destinataire invalide. Invalid recipient. OFR_416 [416]"... Across all customers. That is not how normal recipients, people, stop using their email accounts. Not at such rates. Some other process is going on. One would like to find out what happened. He is asking himself if the domain has gone out of business (which is not the case).
