Two questions about bounce processing in 2.1.5.
First question:
The bounce_info_stale_after is regardless of list traffic? I.e. is the bounce information discarded after bounce_info_stale_after days regardless if there's been any outgoing mail?
Yes, but only the most recent prior bounce is considered. I.e., if a user has some prior bounces and the most recent is less than bounce_info_stale_after days old, all are kept.
For example, if you have a list where a message goes out just once every week, but you have bounce_info_stale_after less than a week then will a bouncing address *ever* get disabled?
Not in this case. You need to insure that bounce_info_stale_after is more than a week in this case.
Second questions:
After bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval is finished is the address really "removed" as the docs say, or just set to "nomail"? I assume it really means "removed".
It's really removed. When the score reaches bounce_score_threshold, delivery is disabled for 'bounce'. If delivery is not subsequently enabled by the user or admin, the user will be removed from the list after bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings times bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval days as long as the disabled cron is being run. This does not depend on the warnings themselves bouncing. It only depends on delivery remaining disabled.
