I have now been able to resubscribe. What I did was to stop routing my mail through my employer's main router. I believe that was the source of the bounces from improper processing of validation tags. Dodging that router let me succeed in replying to confirm my subscription. I began relaying through this router ten years ago because a different recipient didn't like my originating IP. If that's now busted again, I'll work through it. Thank you very much to all of you who posted or wrote with helpful and useful suggestions.

I have tried hard to just state the facts I know and not suggest any sort of misbehavior. I have (sporadically) benefitted from this group many times over the past nine years, and it's a major reason I've stuck with Debian. I have also (less often) contributed a solution or two when I was able. Thanks again.
