tbh it totally makes sense > IMHO> if you are IN > email should work

My friend this whole astrology last year but this was THE INDICATOR

So it also works for the longer emails?

mine did that too, and i just sent it a one character message and it bounced back.. so 3 bounce backs, 1 sent… wth

For NETID I got this error: The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try double-checking the recipient’s email address for typos or unnecessary spaces.

For Stern I got this error: The response was:

The recipient server did not accept our requests to connect

There should be no reason why a long email gets bounced and a short one does not. You can send an extremely long or empty email to a valid inbox, and it wouldn’t bounce.

I said ā€œHiā€ and it worked, but I gave it a sentence and it bounced back.

I feel like we are reading too much into it. Decisions in less than 24 hours anyway so we will see then

Yeah that just doesn’t make sense from a logical standpoint, sending any length email to a valid email wouldn’t bounce.

actually it seems like my nyu email doesn’t like getting the word ā€œhiā€ and the email drops in the void, but when i give it a long sentence, it actually sends it to my email and i see it on both ends

this one of the craziest ā– ā– ā– ā–  i’ve seen

Yeah again, this isn’t the case for any other type of email address, I’ve never heard of a short message just not being sent or received?

If it’s not a joke this is actually worrying.

um :grinning_face:… is this a note? wth? i’m scared for them

any other of my emails it goes through, nyu is just different with their email system ig, I’ll type a long sentence, it goes through, just saying ā€œhiā€, drops into the void (no bounce back no nothing)

keep in mind: a large majority of the applicants will NOT get their email activated until they make a deposit, and that was proven to me with summer high school. the backend for the applicant on-boarding pipeline is the same for general nyu admissions and summer high school, this was confirmed by me asking IT one day cuz I was bored

That’s messed up.

I’ve just come up with the stupidest crazy idea. I have the hacked database, I can extract like 100 random net ids for this rd cycle and just mass email them with an SMTP server, and see how many get bounced. If only like 5-10 make it through, this method is reliable.
