OK, so there’s more to it…
Michael Del Valle
•You will need to check your e-mail (not in RNT) for undeliverable messages-
•What do you do with them? Fix? Ignore?
•What happens when customer provides bogus contact info?
•You will need to determine what is Spam and what isn’t
•Often means opening suspect subject lines.
•Barracuda Spam filter works best with at least 200 identified Spam AND non-spam e-mails
•What do you do with those e-mails that sneak past and get in the queue? – Set to Answer or delete from queue.1-14-09 Mug

So, why do it at all?
Michael Del Valle
•Saves time and confusion
•Reps will not see Spam in RNT queue
•You (reps?) will not have to take time to open and decipher from within queue
•Accuracy and integrity of e-mail analytics numbers
•Improves Cust Sat- you will have opportunity to see if customer e-mail bounced-might want to call customer?
•Customer Support/Service - Identifies customers with incorrect email addresses and provides an opportunity to fix customers mistakes. Customer does not have to be involved.1-14-09 Mug
