Re^2: Can I get emails when somebody responds to my PerlMonks post?

This would cause much traffic, which tye would prefer to avoid.

If I had a clear concept how to identify bouncing emails I could provide a script I wrote for $.

But this would also imply the need for disabling and reactivating an address.

This would cause much traffic Only if everyone did it, and then at a high rate. I would figure refreshing (automatically) once ever 15 minutes would suffice, and not cause much hurt to the server. Does that make sense?	[reply]

++; but since chacham's proposed solution uses javascript, that notification would probably not be mail, but a popup or something different. And this gave me the idea of sending a notification via IRC or XMPP or similiar protocol. Of course, except for the blacklist probability being lower, the other problems mentioned in tye's Re^3: Email notification of replies pertaining to me (work) would still remain.	[reply]
