So what? Yes sometimes the spam coming through
this
list triggers a bounce. So what?

I verified each and every time that I removed you
(at least 6 or 7
seperate occaisions) that your site was bouncing
repeatedly for
completely normal postings, not spam.

And I don't remove when you bounce "once", I do it
when your address
generates a series of bounces that doesn't look like
it will end any
time soon.

You've had to resubscribe multiple times, at what
point would it have
occured you to ask postmaster here what the problem
was so that you
could go ahead and correct it?

Your address caused problems on a continual and
repeated basis.
We're not talking about isolated bounces.

Anyways, all of this talk is about you defending
yourself. There has
been no talk so far of correcting the problem, what
you're going to do
in the future to prevent this from reoccuring so
that I can remove the
block of your email address.

And a maybe even a nice little "sorry about that".



If anyone should be sorry it should be you for taking
me off the list in the first place. Why are you
removing users every time a message bounces? That's
extremely abnormal. I am part of a lot of lists and I
have never seen anyone delete people based on a
trivial number of bounces. Especially on a list that
has as uch spam as this list does.

I bounce some messages - so what?

The problem is that if this list kicks people off
wrongly them the fault is with the list configuration.
What you should be doing is fixing the list and not
kicking people off the list.
