Hmm, the problem of our lists not being fully populated with members must lie
elsewhere. Thanks for the info on the autoresponse message though!

We have an automated system that programmatically adds users to lists using
the email command functionality (subscribe nodigest address=$theemailaddress).
Though, some of the lists are large and occasionally we get the returned
email response:
We have received a message from your address [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
requesting an automated response from the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. We have seen 10 such
messages from you today. In order to avoid problems such as mail
loops between email robots, we will not be sending you any further
email responses today. Please try again tomorrow.
If you believe this message is in error, or if you have any questions,
please contact the list owner at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
*Note that I renamed the sending and list email addresses.
Is there some limit that's being triggered causing this message, and what can
I do to prevent it?
The limit is MAX_AUTORESPONSES_PER_DAY which defaults to 10. It can be
set lower or higher, and it can be set to 0 for no limit, but note
that if you set it either to 0 or a large value, your server can be
used a spam reflector or for 'Joe Jobbing'.
Note however that the subscribe command(s) are still processed even
though the 10th one gets the above response and the remainder get no
response.
