Excessive bounces

[Harald Weis]

Hi All,

My membership to this list has been disabled due to excessive bounces.

Could somebody please tell me how to stop these bounces in the future ?

What is their operating mode ?

What can I do if they do not require to break my (inclusive) firewall
which seems to work fine and which is in place since ages ?

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Consult your e-mail provider, if that is yourself, check your logs.

Please don't top post.
Please don't CC! I'm subscribed to whatever list I just posted on.

I had this problem with Insight Cable using synacor.com as spam filter, and the user could not disable that filter.

Some good messages were filtered out, including messages, some spam and some nonspam, from FreeBSD emailing lists.

I switched to by old AT&T/Yahoo bellsouth.net account.

Since Insight Cable was acquired by Time Warner Cable, that problem no longer exists.

Worst thing that happens is that Subject line is preceded by [SPAM], and that has happened with some legitimate messages.

Probably, but without the details it's not possible to give specific advise.
Try talking to postm...@freebsd.org and your local postmaster about the bounces.

I'd imagine it's a problem on your side, because list traffic is working fine for most.

If other email works, then it's not likely to be your firewall.

You are not the only one with this problem. I am subscribed,
from the same address, to about half a dozen Freebsd lists;
questions@ is the only one that insists I confirm my subscription
(roughly once a month).
Attempts to work with the Freebsd mailing-lists admins have
been far from satisfactory ....

Thanks to all of you.

I'm just happy to know that I am not the only one having this problem with
freebsd-questions, and never ever with many other (FreeBSD or other)
lists since years.
