  • CHANGE: I've made a change to the bounce algorithm. Previously if we received no additional bounces for 4 days, we cleared the bounce counts for a user. I've added the additional condition that we must have had at least one successful delivery after the last bounce received, before we clear the bounce counts. This is to address the issues of people not bouncing because they are members of groups that have very little traffic.
