Held Notify Days

When a member bounces too much email their status can be changed to "held". That means their email address has been declared as "invalid" or "inoperational" and they no longer receive list postings.

Lyris List Manager has the capability to send a notification message to people on hold, to tell them about their status and give them the option of un-holding themselves. A member can unhold themselves by sending email to "unhold@…" at your Lyris List Manager.

This setting determines for how many days a member who has been placed on hold should receive a notification message. This setting does not directly correlate with how many notifications the member will get, it only means that the member will receive notifications for a specific duration.

Thus, you can determine how many notifications someone will get if you divide the "Held Notify Days" value by the "Held Notify Interval" value and drop the remainder. For example, if your "Held Notify Days" is set to 11 and your "Held Notify Interval" is set to two, you would divide 11 by two, and drop the remainder. This results in five notifications.
