As some of you may have noticed, the firewalls list has been migrated to 
new hardware and software. We are now running on top of mailman and 
postfix. This change should help us better support the mailing list in 
future. In the migration process, we have unsubscribed a suprising number 
of bouncing addresses, and some badly behaved ones. For future reference, 
if your address:

- Sends receipts for every message
- Sends vacation mail responses
- Explodes to a list of users, and sends bounces for those users to us

you will be unsubscribed.

If there are several addresses at a given domain, and that domain sends 
bounce messages that do not include the original destination address (and I 
mean _anywhere_ - we looked, hard), all addresses at that domain will be 
unsubscribed. (I really wish I knew which mail software was responsible for 
this travesty, but it left no identifiable marks).

There are also an amazing number of people who are over their mail quotas. 
We're leaving them subscribed for now. If it gets to be a problem, they'll 
be unsubscribed, too.
