I cannot recall ever seeing any announcement about this, at subscription time or later, and having trawled the RIPE web site, I am still none the wiser as to how and why subscriptions get disabled. Even if I were, I imagine that there is nothing on this earth I can do to stop it happening, since I did nothing that I know of to make it happen the first time.
Any thoughts?
The mailman mailing list software will automatically disable addresses from which more than a certain number of messages have bounced. This normally happens (although there are other causes) if a particular mailbox has exceeded its quota or if an account has been disabled without the address first being unsubscribed from the list. If a particular address is bouncing messages then there is no way for the mailman software to notify the subscriber that that address is being disabled. James
