Don’t find many threads on soft bounce so I’ll explain my problem, maybe this works as expected. A bunch of users changed company, email addresses changed obviously. They still get together at rather lenghty intervals. But a lot of these users now soft-bounce. Which I have to investigate, just in case. I don’t want to go in and change these users to a new email, neither email them about it, that’s pestering them. Theorethically I could do this if I’ve seen them login recently but that’s still manual work for me. I don’t want to change their email preferences to off, they might get back in and usually then for a reason, i.e. want notifications again. Setting soft-bounce reset to 720 days kinda works BUT does it reset automatically when a user logs in? That would make sense. What I would like to see happening is, I just set the soft to a very high value. Once a user logs in, it’s reset for that user AND there is a notification for that user that your email might be invalid. If they ignore that, heck, not my problem anymore, **then** I’ll set their email notifications to off. This is kinda related to me having all these lurking groups activating whenever there is a stock split or whatever (even have one handling family members dying occasionally and that is lurking extreme).
