UBT Birthday - Email sent to members - did yours BOUNCE?

[UBT - Timbo]

Hi all,

Overnight and this morning, I've sent out over 1,000 emails to EVERY member, the contents of which covered in a separate posting.


HOWEVER: IF your BOINC username is one of the following (see below), then the email BOUNCED......!

Which means either you've given up crunching and your old email address has lapsed (most likely) or you've entered the WRONG email address in your project profile.

In either case, you didn't get the email.....

So, please review the list as follows: (it's pretty long !)

Forum members in BOLD !!!  :oops:

So, IF you spot your name, goto the specific project named next to your username and review the email address you have used on that project....

Checked email on QMC. It's correct. Received email at 09:40 today.

Hi Rod,

Have another look - the s and y are in the WRONG order....

(should be y and then s ???)

And you would have received the email anyway, coz all your other projects have the correct addy...which my database picked and merged correctly !!

(S' not easy merging 3,500 odd email addresses to ensure each email addy receives only one instance of the email !!)

Sorry, cat died last year  

And my file needs a bit of sharpening up, as it's gone flat !  :oops:

I wonder where that account came from!   I seem to have 2 accounts there. One created in Nov spelt incorrectly with 0 credits and one spelt correctly created in Dec with 8k credits.

Wonder how I delete the spurious account? I have however detached the spurious account from UBT so it won't appear when you next do a mailout.

No worries amd thanks.

The biggest problem with the email "sorting process" is removing all the "host unknown/user unknown/disabled accounts/etc" from the current list of email addy's on EACH project, now numbering more than 45...!


I've suggested to the great David P Anderson, to enable "email mailing lists" at least by the founders of each team, which would make contacting all the "opted-in" memebrs, much easier....

Been over a year since that suggestion and nowt happened yet...

Oh well....

Tim

ahem... I did'nt get one

[UBT - Mikee]

ahem... I did'nt get one

ahem, ahem - I didn't either which is strange as I normally get 3! None in the 'spam' folder either which is where they usually go!

Hi Gary,

I did the email "collection" from all of the various project sites on 19th May....as I wanted to send the email out w/c 21st May, but it got held up  :oops:

So, if you had "detached" from the project by that date, then you woudn't have been included.

Sorry 'bout that - but the email has been posted on the forum for your delectation!

Hi Mike,

Like a few select others, you were only sent the "proof" around 3pm yesterday....

So, I didn't send you the "pukka" email, as apart from a few minor tweaks, the essence of the email was the same.

And you usually get three emails coz you've got 3 a/c's on SETI...!

regards

Tim
