In fact, there IS validation of emails for list subscribers. But someone
subscribed to the list, and then managed its own email address so that it
redirects the emails it receives to another bogous random place (instead of
unsubscribing the list), and this is done on its own email server, so
there’s nothing we can do to prevent such bad redirection, except forcing
every subscriber to resubscribe by sending them individual messages and
checking when these messages are bouncing.

 

Anyway, I am not LimeWire, and I don’t have the full list of subscribers, so
I can’t do that myself (and I have no legitimate right to send individual
messages to every subscriber to the list, because this would be spam; only
Limewire can do that, as part of the normal management of the list.

 

Translators cannot do anything themselves, We know that each writer receives
back a copy of his message through this bogous bounce coming from an unknown
place.

 

Note that this bouncing is asynchronous. There’s no way to know, from the
list itself, that the email relayed by the list will bounce back directly to
the writer (apparently it does not bounce to the list itself, so the list
cannot detect this bounce; the remote server that performs such bounce is
bogous (as it does not follow the widely accepted practice of NOT bouncing
any message coming from a mailing list that is properly identified in its
headers !)

 

Yes I hate this irresponsible user that is so ignorant to redirect his
message to a random address.

The validation option sounds quite good to me..

Why aren't you doing it?

Another option (not so good though) is just to open a new mailing list, so
you can work with it...

 

What the translators should do until the list is fixed? send it to you?
