    It's ironic isn't it, we have people turning ugly because they can't
    figure out how to unsubscribe and all that's required is to let your
    mailbox get full or have some mail bounce.

    As one of the "quite a few others" kicked off the list due to bounced
    mail, I've contacted my ISP and asked why and how much of my mail
    they're bouncing. While they've been quite cordial, they've also not
    been much help. All they can tell me is that the "standard spam filter"
    (whatever the hell that is) must be rejecting my mail.

    One question they asked was if I could supply a copy of a bounced message.

    Can I?

    Or did you write that last bit of code two late for me?
