oops :-)
anyhow, since I'm playing catch up on admin stuff, more
specifically, re-writing my stock explainations to common
questions, here's one I give to ppl who ask "hey, why did my IDM mail
stop all of a sudden!?!?!"
-=-
Hi,
You recently asked me to address a situation whereby you found
yourself suddenly unsubscribed from one of the mailing lists
I maintain (idm, idm-digest, idm-reviews).
Most often this is due to the fact that your mail server was,
for whatever reason, rejecting delivery of list mail.
When this occurs, your message is sent back to me, the owner,
with a short description of the problem in delivery. At this
time, based on this description, if the problem appears to be
permanent, the bounced mail is "piped" (|) to a "delete" script
which will locate the offending email address and remove it.
This removal is attended to as soon as possible as to stem the
tide of bouncing emails which clutter up hyperreal's mail server.
Some common problems which create these bounces are;
mailboxes over quota, this problem most often affects "FREE"
email users with strictly enforced quota accounts at aol.com,
yahoo.com, hotmail.com, mail excite, etc.
If the circumstances surrrounding your list mail bouncing mail back
have ceased, you may certainly resubscribe to the lists. i
Last, if you should require my assistance in identifying the
circumstances surrounding your bouncing mail, please contact me
at idm-owner@hyperreal.org, and the next time it happens, I will
retain a copy of the bounced email for your analysis.
Cheers,
amp
