Wishlist: Tell me when I've crossed the bounce threshold

feature
1

Due to some problems at the corporate email server, my account (and some others) crossed the bounce threshold in our public Discourse instance.

For two weeks, I had no email notifications from Discourse. And no idea why.

Half of that time I was on vacation. The other half I was visiting our instance very regularly and picking up my notifications the only way I could - directly in the UI.

It seems to me that Discourse should have alerted me - in UI, obvs not by email :sweat_smile: - that I’d crossed the bounce threshold.

If an active user has an email problem, we should give them a chance to fix it.

This seems like a no brainer idea and I’d vote for it but only today cast my first vote and got a notice I’m only allowed five votes, not sure what happens if I use them and find the sixth one needed just one more vote to pass :slightly_smiling_face:

I now wonder how many users drifted off due to not getting the email nudge that might have kept them coming back :thinking:

@anon48433008 you can always rescind a vote if you want to use it somewhere else. :innocent:

When I see a sidekiq message on dashboard. I check the email sent report. As I am typically in everyday in the past didn’t realize they were not monitoring their mail server plan.

Which due to also using this server for their company email also made a couple of months with no emails. :man_facepalming:

A forum member messaged me about ppl having trouble signing up.

Awesome idea.
