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.

Your issue is most likely due to the way Yahoo sometimes bounces delivered emails. Please see this post for more information, then read back a couple posts as well.
