Bounce handler runs throgh 15 or emails and stops

[Square]

Hi there:

I am testing the bounce handler. I am getting into a GMAIL account. POP3/IMAP/TLSv1

It runs through maybe 15 emails and locks up. I restart and it does again (but maybe 20 emails this time, or 5, etc.)

Am I doing something wrong.

Also, my email list is on a MySQL server. Is there a way to automatically delete emails with 10+ hard bounces from MySQL?

Do you get the same problem using POP and IMAP?

 

[Square]

Yes I did in POP and IMAP. Even more peculiar, I get different email totals in each setting. Please note that I am testing the product. Is that the reason? I thought it would go up to 100 then stop.

 

[stanbusk]

No, the reason is Gmail actually, the worst choice you can make for using bulk email software.

 

[Square]

Not a problem. I will switch it to my domain email address to collect bulks. I will need to build up bunch and try it again.

Actually, if Gmail isn't good, which service do you recommend? Yahoo?

 

[stanbusk]

Anything except free services like Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail... Free services are very limited.

Works MUCH better using my domain email.

When selecting email to export I saw there was the HARD | SOFT and Quantity options. But what if I just wanted to export every HARD bounce >10 , not every email with bounce > 10?

This setting makes eMail Bounce Handler consider the excess of soft bounces as hard bounces. It allows you to export hard bounces and those soft bounces excess.

The free service I use is mail.com and it works very well.
