While several of us in Cambridgeshire have tried this, we've had very
limited success. It's hard to tell, but the problem seems to that the
vast majority of the problem people aren't receiving the emails. We
have no way to contact them.
(It's especially frustrating when people deleted my original
painstaking mapping and replaced it, only for that now to need to be
replaced.)
It would help to know that email is bouncing. Tom, is it possible to
change the mail system to get bounces to go back to the sender, or if
that is considered too revealing of personal info, then at least a
message that a bounce was received, rather than just black-holing it?
Then we know for sure this mapper's contributions have to be replaced,
rather than hanging on in the hope they may reply (those who have
replied have not done so quickly, I;'ve largely given up waiting).
Yes, we have to be very careful about folks details as per UK Data
Protection Act. Generally exposing information is a no-no, so what we
are looking at is authorising one or two people to have enough access to
perform the, legitimate, task of pinpointing and trying to contact such
folks. Simon Poole has kindly volunteered to take this on
