I've come to the point where I actually am affraid to manage bounced e-mails. I'll try to explain why.. I see it happen so often that I get bounced activation e-mails from users who just registered, and if those mails really bounced then these users shouldn't have been able to activate their account, but yet I see them online on my site showing up as registered users which means that they did activate their account. In other words, if I would have managed those users I would have more or less disabled their account 'undeserved'. After all, if they were able to activate their account then they did receive the activation e-mail, and I shouldn't have received the bounce mail. I don't get this.. Is it possible that if an activation e-mail ends up in a hotmail user's junkmail that I receive the bounce e-mail? Maybe I need to look at the type of errors more carefully?
I've also received many many 'this user doesn't have a Yahoo.com account' e-mails about users of which I know that they DO have a yahoo.com account.
I just don't understand all of this. At the moment I'm not using ezbounce because I too often think that I am putting users in the bounced usergroup who shouldn't be in there. I'd appreciate some advise. Thanks.
