I am running code
get_bounce_info.py
that I got from
http://veenet.value.net/~msapiro/scripts/get_bounce_info.py
to get a daily bounce_score report. I was looking at the report this
morning, and I see most entries with old list_bounce_date values.
For all my 218 Mailman lists, I have:
bounce_processing = True
bounce_score_threshold = 5.0
bounce_info_stale_after = 7 (or 40 in some lists)
bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings = 3
bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval = 7
I calculate the number of days ago:
Jan 14 = 0
Jan 13 = 1
...
Jan 07 = 7
Jan 06 = 8
...
Jan 01 = 13
Dec 31 = 14
Dec 30 = 15
...
Dec 05 = 40
I see in the report entries such as
---------------------------
<bounce info for member user at example.com
current score: 1.0
last bounce date: (2007, 10, 3)
email notices left: 3
last notice date: (1970, 1, 1)
confirmation cookie: None
>
---------------------------
Why is there still bounce information for this subscriber?
The list for which this information is extracted has
bounce_info_stale_after = 7
so, I would have expected this bounce information to have been deleted
October 10 or 11. I see this entry in today's report and all the
daily reports back to its first appearance October 03.
Here is a summary of all of the last bounce dates in the file:
unix% grep "last bounce date:" $mbs | sort | uniq -c

1 last bounce date: (2007, 11, 2)
1 last bounce date: (2007, 11, 11)
2 last bounce date: (2007, 11, 12)
10 last bounce date: (2007, 11, 13)
7 last bounce date: (2007, 11, 14)
1 last bounce date: (2007, 11, 16)
6 last bounce date: (2007, 11, 19)
2 last bounce date: (2007, 11, 20)
5 last bounce date: (2007, 11, 21)
6 last bounce date: (2007, 11, 24)
1 last bounce date: (2007, 11, 25)
3 last bounce date: (2007, 11, 27)
1 last bounce date: (2007, 11, 28)
3 last bounce date: (2007, 11, 29)
27 last bounce date: (2007, 11, 30)
2 last bounce date: (2007, 12, 1)
1 last bounce date: (2007, 12, 2)
9 last bounce date: (2007, 12, 3)
7 last bounce date: (2007, 12, 4)
12 last bounce date: (2007, 12, 5)
2 last bounce date: (2007, 12, 6)
(Note that I have re-sorted this list manually by date).
If the last bounce date is for a list with
bounce_info_stale_after = 40
then I should only see in the report entries with last bounce date
of December 05 or 06. And if
bounce_info_stale_after = 7
I should not see any entries, as there has not been a bounce reported
after December 06 (except those where the bounces did set an address
to nomail or automatically unsubscribed the address).
Thanks.
