Hans, here's a recent bounce message I received: Dear subscriber, We've encountered some problems while sending listmail to your emailaddress ronle...@tesco.net. In the last seven days we've seen bounces for the following list: * debian-user 1 bounce out of 45 mails in one day (2%, kick-score is 80%) (http://lists.debian.org/bounces/[*** trimmed ***) (The link above points to a copy of the latest bounce and will be valid for seven days.) If the bounce-rate passes the kick-score, our bounce-detection will forcibly remove your subscription. Bounces happen from time to time when spam slips through our filters but are rejected by your mail provider. If you are your own mail provider and use 'Before-Queue Content filtering', you should whitelist bendel.debian.org from Content filtering. However: You can safely ignore this message (and you will not be unsubscribed :-) ) if your kick-score remains low.

Sincerely, The Listmaster Team -- http://lists.debian.org You can re-subscribe, I think. Also, you could check with o2 whether they can do that whitelist for you. In the longer term, you could, indeed, run a simple mail server on a free domain and on a dynamic IP for less-important mails such as lists, but for important mails you need a static ip, and postfix or exim, coupled with dovecot, on RAID1, and use rdiff-backup to snapshot the mail store to another machine every 4 hours. Otherwise, important email is best left to the isp, I think. regards, Ron Hi Ron. Yes, that is the mail I received. However, as it told me , I will not be unsubscribed, I did nothing. Now I subscribed to the list again, hope this will fix things. If it doesn't, I will have to talk to my isp. For the own mail server: In earlier times I was a postmaster for myself. Ran postfix on the servers, so configuration will not be the problem. The greater problem is the fixed IP I need. Of course I could register a domain from dyndns.org, but then I am again hanging at another provider. Rootservers is another solution, but not cheap. Lowest price will be a little talk with my provider, I guess. :) I will be smart, they will be smart. And we will see, if my resubsription works. Thanks for the help! Best Hans Hans, I have the same issue, hence the personal email. The problem, folks who send messages to the list with reply all or anything other than reply to mail list., lazy behavior or broken emailer.. My spam filter at my isp quarrantines these, then bounces them if I don't manage , whitelist them.. which I do not want to do, so I get blocked by Debian User. I still recieve the user list, just can not post. Peace, Greg Hmm, it looks, I made a mistake. When I receive a mail from the list, I always reply to all, not to the list. I suppose, due to this behaviour, I was unsubsribed whatever. Besides, I subscribed again, but that did not work. Today I will talk to my isp, if debian.org is blocked. In my case it is upside down as at yours: I can send to the list, but got no receives, you get receives but cannot send. Let's see, what my isp says, I hope, the problem will be solved, soon.

Hmm, looks like my provider (which is o2 aka o2online) here in Germany blocks the domain debian.org completely. There is no mail in my incoming folder, nor one in spam or elsewhere. Other mails from other destinations or domains are delivered correctly. I cannot find out, if it is a personal or a general problem.
