**The Importance of Maintaining a Working Email Address**

In the RepeaterBook system, a valid and functioning email address is essential for effective communication and maintaining access to important updates. Here’s why having a working email address is so important and what you need to do to keep your account in good standing.

==== Why a Working Email Address Matters ====

1. **Communication About User Requests and Updates**  
   Your email address is our primary way to communicate with you about the progress of your requests and updates to repeaters. Without a valid email, you may miss critical notifications or important updates related to your submissions or account.

2. **Monitoring Bounced Emails**
   - When an email bounces (is undeliverable), it affects our ability to communicate with you.  
   - Additionally, bounced emails negatively impact our email reputation, which can affect our ability to send emails to users with valid email addresses.

3. **Email Bounce Management**
   - We actively monitor bounced emails and maintain a list of email addresses that have failed delivery.  
   - To protect the integrity of our system and email reputation, we will not attempt to email addresses that have repeatedly bounced.  

==== Actions Required for Users ====

1. **Update Your Email Address**  
   If your email address has changed or you notice you are not receiving updates, update your profile with a working email address immediately. A functioning email ensures you continue receiving notifications and system updates.

2. **Request Removal from the Bounce List**  
   If your email address has been flagged for bounces but is now functioning, you can request removal from the bounce list. To do this, contact the admin team through the admin contact channels.

3. **Check the Dashboard**  
   Use your account dashboard to check for any status problems related to your email address. This dashboard will indicate whether your email is flagged and provide guidance for resolution.
