 * Hi!
    I’m using your plugin and saw today, that I had many log entries with the
   Bounces Reason “weird_forward”. Nearly all of them name the e-mail-adress I’m
   using to SEND the newsletter, some are from user addresses. What does this mean?
   And if this means that these mails were forward to my mailbox: I could not see
   them there.
 * Thanks
    Sebastian

 * Hi [@sbrinkmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbrinkmann/),
 * That means if plugin can’t detect a email whether bounced or not than it will
   marked as ‘weird_forward’ 🙂

 * Hi [@sbrinkmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbrinkmann/), That’s because
   that occurrence never happened in your bounce email inbox! 🙂

 * Sorry, I don’t understand? I thought that these mails would be forwarded to my
   regular inbox.

 *  I said **bounce email inbox** and yes, after any found will be forwarded to 
   your regular inbox or the email you define in settings area.
