Posted: 17 June 09 9:47 pm
summary:
if you are on optusnet and want to continue receiving the daily email updates, please check your email address in your profile and resubscribe
detail:
each day gca sends out 623 daily update email update plus a varying number of owner and watchlist updates. of the 623 daily update emails, 41 go to optusnet
naturally with a list this large we get email bounces. (think about it: if people change their email address once every two years, sending out 623 per day means you're going to get one new bounce every day.) we do our best to go through these bounces once a week and turn off the emails for those people. (this will be automatic one day...)
today sending email updates we started getting strange bounces:
- Deferred: Connection timed out with extmail.optusnet.com.au.
- Too many bad recipients
- Too many bad recipients
so some people on optusnet aren't getting email updates. however, it also means that our server is being blocked from sending any emails to optusnet. we need to rectify this immediately because it's impacting our business and we don't our server to get blacklisted as a spamming site
so, we have turned off daily email updates for the 41 members who have optusnet email addresses. we apologise for this, but (a) you may not have been getting them anyway, and (b) you can always turn them back on again as long as you promise to check your email address!
so if you are on optusnet and want to continue receiving the daily email updates, please check your email address in your profile and resubscribe
we apologise for the inconvenience. we discussed this possibility with the developers a month or so ago and believe that c@w or craigrat has an automated method of bounce detection up their sleeve for a future release so this won't happen again!
