Subject: What to do if you get “bounced off” the Chatham Chatlist
Some folks are being droped from the Chatham Chatlist because of bouncebacks. Most are legit, but occasionally someone gets dropped accidentally.
There are soft and hard bouncebacks –
– *Soft Bounce:* Soft bounces basically mean the email was sent to the server, processed, but for some reason was returned. Common reasons include: “user over quota,” and “server temporarily unavailable.”
– *Hard Bounce:* A hard bounce basically means the email was sent, and the recipient’s server outright rejected it. Common reasons include: “Account does not exist,” and “domain does not exist.”
Bouncebacks are cleared from the chatlist automatically. Hard bounces are removed immediately. If a soft bounce occurs 5 times in a row the member is removed from the Chatham Chatlist as a hard bounce.
I cannot add you back to the chatlist. You have to resubscribe yourself by filling out the registration form at http://eepurl.com/drve
