Bouncing Message:

If messages sent to you, as a member, are consistently returned to

Yahoo! Groups with an error, you are considered " Bouncing " .

The usual reason for being placed in BOUNCING status is an inbox that

has exceeded its limit. Common in mail services like Yahoo, Excite,

Hotmail, and other " free " mail servers. Their usual limit is

somewhere between 3-6 MB of storage for your mail.

Another reason for bouncing is not accessing your (often free) email

account for a long prior of time (45 - 90 days) and therefore the

account is automatically de-activated by the provider as stated in

their conditions.

Bouncing status also removes your name from the active member list,

thereby

denying you any more emails. Even if your e-mail preference = " No

Email " for certain groups, since if you bounce from ANY YAHOO GROUP,

you are put on bouncing status FOR ALL THE YAHOO GROUPS TO WHICH YOU

BELONG.

Once an account is considered bouncing, Yahoo! Groups will send a

series of test messages to the member. If the test messages are

returned as undeliverable, then the account will continue to bounce.

However, if a message is delivered and not returned as undeliverable

within five days after it was sent, the account will automatically be

reactivated.

Automatic Reactivation:

As mentioned in above section Yahoo! Groups periodically sends

automated test ( " probe " ) messages to bouncing members. If a test

message is not returned to Yahoo! Groups with an error, we assume the

message was successfully delivered and automatically reactivate the

member's account. This process does not require any action by the

moderator or member.

The automatic unbouncing process can take several days before a user

is sent email again.
