Hi,

Our list has been receiving a lot of spam lately (which just comes to
Arnold, Susan, and me) and I suspect all of you are getting an excessive
amount as well. Many of us have spam filters that catch some but never all
of it. It appears that many of these spam filters are declaring our list
messages to be spam. The messages then bounce and it there are a number of
bounces received the mail program for our list disables the email address
that is bouncing. The administrators get a message when that happens but
before that we don't know that someone's address is bouncing. Over the
weeks messages are sent out directing the disabled address about this and
if they too bounce eventually the address is unsubscribed. We are getting a
large number of notices of addresses being disabled and I expect this will
increase.

So if you stop getting messages from this list, this could be why. If you
can add the list address as an approved email address to your spam filter
that might address the problem, I'm not sure. The way you can check to see
if your account is bouncing and to make changes is by going to this url and
adding the email address that is the one you used to subscribe on the end.
