No. I am not leaving that out. That's not the case. I am only dealing with those that were bounced back as:

Bad domain, not known, one sent me back a message that told me they had not set the account up properly.

Another two told me that the email box was full.

And recent reports confirm that potentially £1,000,000s of business goes begging because people either do not read their emails or cant be arsed to reply to potential customers.

I based the "not bothering to reply to emails" on a former boss of mine. In the end we encouraged people not to email him. As he was like Dilbert's Pointy-haired boss. An inbox filled with unread mail.
