| Word | Description |
| ballot | A formal voting mechanism, ballots can be issued to a single group or to the entire organization. Each ballot's list of eligible voters is generated based on the group's policies, which may be open or restrictive. The passage of a ballot may be dependent on quorum requirements or a simple majority of votes cast. |
| bill ID | The bill ID is a human-readable identifier generated automatically when a new bill is created. The basic format for a bill ID can be configured by each organization. |
| bill status | The bill status indicates where a bill is in its life cycle. Bill statuses include new, pending, paid, overdue, awaiting gateway, failed gateway, disputed, refunded, canceled, and deleted. |
| billing account | A company or user has a billing account if there is a record for that company or user specifically defined for use with billing processes. |
| blocklist | The blocklist published by Spamhaus contains the IP addresses of known spammers. Kavi spam filters block all email sent to Workspace installations from blocklisted IPs. See also: deny subscriber list, deny list, IP address, internet address |
| bounce | When an email cannot be delivered to an email address, it is returned to the sender. This returned message is called a bounce. Email can bounce for many reasons, including an improperly typed email address, an email address that is no longer viable or a temporary network issue that blocks any email to the email address. See also: bounce handling |
| bounce handling | The email subsystem includes automatic tools that detect and remove bad email addresses from mailing lists. This process is called bounce handling. Typically, when a recipient's email address is bouncing mailing list messages, the mailing list will send out a special email to the address, called a probe, to test delivery. If the probe bounces too, the email address is unsubscribed from the list. All instances of email addresses being removed in this manner are logged. See also: bounce, EZ Mailing List Manager, probe |
