IEEE e-Notice Service
IEEE e-Notice is an electronic
newsletter subscription service that has been developed for IEEE organizational units to facilitate
email distribution of newsletters, meeting notices and IEEE
conference materials.
The source of email addresses for
e-Notice is the IEEE Membership Database, new members are
automatically added, members who move to a new Section are
automatically moved, and deceased members are automatically
omitted.
Each message gives the member an
opportunity to opt-out of future e-mailings.
Organization unit (OU) e-mailings are
limited to the members of that organizational Unit.
Conferences must complete the IEEE Information Schedule and be posted on the IEEE Conference Search before e-Notice requests can be processed. If approved, e-Notices will be sent to members of the sponsoring IEEE OU of the conference.
>>> Effective 15 May 2009 conference e-mailings will be limited to six e-Notices a year due to processing times and system limitations.

delivery statistics:
"Bounced messages go to a
rules-based "Bounce Handler" to determine the type of
bounce. "Soft bounces"
are those that were undeliverable due to a temporary delivery
failure such as a full mailbox. The system will retry sending mail
to “soft bounces”. “Hard bounces” are those that result from
a permanent delivery failure such as an "invalid e-mail
account".
