Example of the Bounce Probe Message

When a Groups.io user's account (email address) has Bouncing status, Groups.io will stop sending group messages to that address and instead periodically send a "bounce probe". This is a message designed to test whether the member can receive messages from Groups.io.

A group moderator can also manually request that a bounce probe message be sent to any group member listed as Bouncing or Bounced.

The bounce probe is a multipart/alternative email message, meaning it includes both a plain-text and HTML version of the message body. In the example text below the portions shown in italic are customized to reflect your (the bouncing member's) email address and group subscriptions. The unbounce link includes a one-time code (pseudo-random number) to ensure that you are responding to the bounce probe message sent to you, and not trying to use an example probe or otherwise fool the system.

To: you@example.com

From: "Groups.io" <noreply@groups.io>
