[Seattle-editorial] Re: list subscription disabled, not by me

[Jeremy G Kahn]

Please don't go to listwork.

Jason's email was disabled because it was bouncing too much (I think his 
inbox was full). This is normal, and an anti-DOS feature of MailMan -- 
otherwise, one could knock out a system by subscribing thousands of bad 
email addresses to it.

It's unfortunate that when this happens, there's usually no way to send 
a notification to the user.

Suggestions are welcome, but please don't hassle listwork until you've 
contacted the list administrator first (nobody else -- besides you -- 
could have disabled it anyway).
