email bounces

[ghost]

Just a head's up. The bounces indicate the messages were delivered and that these are, so far, only warnings, but given all the shenanigans I've heard regarding other email-related integrations I figured it was worth a mention.

These are all in response to @Nolski's exhortative message:

All four bounce notifications are for gmail users. I've redacted the local part of the email address here out of deference to the subscriber's privacy but this is representative of the bounces:

@ritjoe Thanks for digging into this. I read the fix for this is to unsubscribe the failing email addresses. I'll try to do this during FOSS Hours today.

I went back to the six bounce notifications I had from December. Of the six addresses, only one was still subscribed. I unsubscribed the one address. I'm guessing Mailman unsubscribed the rest of the addresses after so many failed deliveries.

I'm closing this as resolved. I'll try to keep an eye out if any more float around. 🎬
