Subject: RE: [oasis-board-comment] Policy of removal of members who do not respond to email
Nick, We've instituted an additional step of confirming departure of employees whose mail bounces, to ascertain if we can better systemically handle members whose email bounces. To clarify, we do not react to a single mail bounce. The mail server automatically identifies "bad addresses" by analyzing a series of and frequency of bounce messages. If the system sees a potentially bad address, it pings the address several times with probe messages--if any are delivered, the "counter" is reset. Lastly, when we deactivate an account we send the "good-bye" message from a non list server (to distinguish list mail filter problems) and reach out to other employees--as you saw. We are now reaching out to the Primary or other employees before we deactivate the account. If you have any better suggestions how we might discern members whose mail is undeliverable from members whose mail bounces are "permanent", I'd be interested to hear. We know the system is imperfect, but we've yet to identify a better one. Lastly, and FWIW, I checked a few of the bounce messages--they were because your mailbox was full. You might want to check with any other regular mail you get, as they would have also received those bounces, but may have allowed your account to fail silently. All the best, Scott... >-----Original Message----- >From: Patrick Gannon [mailto:patrick.gannon@oasis-open.org] >Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2007 4:10 PM >To: 'Pope, Nick' >Cc: oasis-board-comment@lists.oasis-open.org; 'Scott McGrath' >Subject: RE: [oasis-board-comment] Policy of removal of members who do not >respond to email > >Nick, > >I can understand how frustrating this must be for you. > >Scott McGrath manages the operational process that sets parameters for the >member account deactivation, and he clearly is the right resource to >directly address your situation.
