Your removal from the PSYCHE-D list
the University of Houston LISTSERV Server , 14.5
You have been automatically removed from the PSYCHE-D list (PSYCHE
Discussion Forum (Theoretical emphasis)) as a result of repeated delivery
error reports from your mail system. This decision was based on the
automatic error monitoring policy in effect for the list, and has not
been reviewed or otherwise confirmed by a human being. If you receive
this message, it means that something is wrong: while you are obviously
able to receive mail, your mail system has been regularly reporting that
your account did not exist, or that you were otherwise permanently unable
to receive mail. Here is some information which may assist you or your
local help desk in determining the cause of the problem:
- The failing address is
gate-sci.psychol...@NEWSPOST.NEWSGUY.COM.
- The first error was reported on 2006-10-26.
- Since then, a total of 10 delivery errors have been received.
- The last reported error was: 5.0.0 X-Unix; 1
PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THIS MESSAGE. While you can of course re-subscribe
to the list, it is important for you to report this problem to your mail
administrator so that it can be solved. This problem is not specific to
the PSYCHE-D list, and also affects your private mail. This means that
YOU HAVE PROBABLY LOST SOME PRIVATE MAIL AS WELL. Anyone trying to write
to you during the same time frame will probably have received the same
errors for the same reason. The PSYCHE-D list is but one of the many
people who may have tried to write to you while your mail system was
malfunctioning.
DO NOT LET TECHNICAL PEOPLE CONVINCE YOU THAT THIS IS NORMAL. It is never
normal for a mail system to claim that a valid, working account does not
exist, just as it would not be normal for the post office to return some
of your mail with "addressee unknown" when the address was written
correctly. It is true that some mail systems are less reliable than
others, and your technical people may be doing the best they can with the
tools they have. But, ultimately, the level of service that you are
receiving is the result of a business decision, and not something due to
a universal technical limitation that one can only accept. Reliable mail
systems do exist, and it is ultimately up to you to decide whether this
level of service is acceptable or not.
