For testing purposes, I've got an email list with 3 addresses - my own, an invalid email inside my domain, and an email at an invalid domain.  When I send an email to this list, it usually gets scheduled for a few minutes in the future (that seems normal); after waiting for the schedule time to occur, both the web site and the /campaigns/# api report 3 emails were sent (zero bounces) but the campaigns/#/events/bounces api correctly shows one "non-existent address" and one "undeliverable".  after many minutes have elapsed, eventually the web site and the /campaigns/# api show that 2 of the emails were "bounces".   Why is there this delay between when the emails actually bounce, and when those bounces are reported to the human and the campaigns/# api?  are you retrying the sending of those emails, and only reporting them as bounces if they fail several tries?   The other interesting thing is that the "updated" time for the campaign (as reported in the /campaigns api) doesn't change when the campaign summary changes (<Bounces>0</Bounces> changes to <Bounces>2</Bounces> in the /campaigns/# api).   Is this the expected behavior?  are these just flaws in the system that I need to work around, or is this by design and I'm just not understand how things are supposed to work?   Thanks!

In my web app, I make sure that the Constant Contact mailing list is up-to-date, and then I want to redirect to the Constant Contact web site to allow the user to create the newsletter to send out.   Is there a URL I can use, that reduces the amount of typing the user has to do, once they hit the Constant Contact web site, in order to log in?  For example, is there a URL like this: http://www.constantcontact.com/login?username=fred&password=narg or at least http://www.constantcontact.com/login?username=fred ?   Thanks, Chris   ...

From my ASP.NET web site I am requesting the list of contact lists, and I see there's one I created earlier (also from my ASP.NET web site) that I would like to delete.   The response to https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/<user>/lists?access_token=<token> includes (among other things): <entry>    <link href="/ws/customers/<user>/lists/6" rel="edit"></link>    <id>http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/<user>lists/6</id>   So I'm sending an HTTP DELETE to http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/<user>/lists/6?access_token=<token> and what I get back is 403 Forbidden.   Is there something else I need to be doing?   Thanks, Chris   ...
