Dear
Team
Yesterday
, Shoptimize blasted its message , for which , Netcore gives following
statistics :
*
Requests............904
*
Processed.......... 897 ( 99.23 % )
*
Sent................. 895 ( 99.78 % )
*
Delivered.......... 343 ( 38.3 % )
*
Bounced........... 552 ( 61.7 % )
*
Open............... 18 ( 5.25 % )
We
have recognized this ( bouncing ) as a MAJOR weakness
of our Email database
But
so far , we have not found any satisfactory - and FAST
- method of validating our 2.28 lakh email IDs
So
, this morning , I experimented a little to see if we can find some such QUICK method
From
Netcore Logs ( for 31 Jan 2015 ) , I selected :
>
" Sent "
emails................ 5 no
>
" Hard Bounced "
emails............5 no
>
" Soft Bounced "
emails............ 7 nos
To
all of these 17 , I sent an email ( Zero Cost Marketing ) thru Outlook ( cc to you )
8
of these were " rejected by Server
"
>
4 out of 7 of " HARD BOUNCE " type
>
1 out of 5 of " SENT " type
>
3 out of 5 of " SOFT BOUNCE " type
I
did one more thing
One
by one , I entered these email ids , in Google and searched
In
14 instances , that ( typed )
email ID , turned up in the VERY FIRST link of
the search results ! - in BOLD too !
Does
that mean that :
>
Email IDs which Netcore showed as " Soft Bounce / Hard Bounce " are actually
VALID ?
>
Reason for that " Bouncing " has some other reason ? ( other than the
VALIDITY of those email IDs ? )
I request Shuklendu , to talk to Tanishq ( Netcore ) and
understand why this ( bouncing ) happens
This
experiment also opens up a QUICK method
of checking / verifying , the VALIDITY of
our 2.28 lakh email Ids , as follows :
We
develop a software which picks up from our 2.28
lakh database , one email id , at a time , and inserts into Google Search bar
Then
it searches in the very first link ( of the results ) whether that email Id is
present
If
found " YES " ... >>
put into VALID folder
If
found " NO ".... >> put
into INVALID folder
Take
those in INVALID folder , and replace term before
....@ with " contact "
Then
re-insert this MODIFIED email ids ( one at a time ) into Google search bar and
compare ONCE AGAIN
Again
separate into VALID / INVALID folders
Repeat
the process by changing the prefixes ( ......)@..... , to ,
>
sales
>
marketing
>
info........etc
May
be such a tool could be made to VALIDATE each incoming Email Id ( from Jobs RSS
feeds )
I
would appreciate your feedback on this proposal
