[78-L] Recent bouncing emails and shutdowns

[David Lennick]

A couple of weeks ago I received a bounce-back "for policy reasons" message and 
had no idea what it meant. It happened once or twice, didn't occur again. But 
I've been getting the "reject" thing frequently, and on both addresses (I use 
Sympatico and Yahoo since a few years ago, it made sense to have a backup 
address for 78-L). I am also getting double and sometimes triple e-mails within 
a few minutes from many sources, but only on Sympatico which is rerouted from 
Bell Mail (the doubles show up there and are forwarded).

This is for efficiency reasons, its crazy to queue up many emails and to keep re-trying to send them if they are always rejected, after a while there are 100's waiting to be delivered
