Random failure to bounce an email
Posted: Thu Feb 06, 2020 6:46 am
Most of the time, if I want to bounce an email, as i do under certain circumstances, all goes well Randomly, however, the email fails to bounce upon washing. On odd occasions, un-marking it for bounce, then re-marking it solves the problem, but now and again nothing will work - it stubbornly stays in mailwasher's list of emails.
It is unusual for a piece of software to vary its performance when all else is constant, so it seems that something varies in the nature of the email?
Please do not deliver a lecture on why bouncing is a Bad Thing - I have been an IT consultant for over twenty years, and have long been familiar with the same reasoning that is regularly put forward (sometimes dogmatically); I have a very specific reason for wishing to bounce under certain conditions. This is purely an exploration of the software's performance, and if a minor bug is involved then the software developer can benefit from its discovery as well as users..
