These warning messages are generated by the FlyRotary listserver anytime a FlyRotary message is bounced back to it.  They are used to detect inactive email address... after 5 of these warnings go unanswered the email address in question is unceremoniously removed from the subscription rolls, ostensibly because the email address is no longer valid.  The bounces may be caused by delays in your ISP's mail server, by an outage in a router somewhere between here and there, or just a clog in the internet backbone somewhere along the way.  The only time they are the fault of the recipient is if his email server is volume limited and the the subscriber fails to empty his email box on a regular basis.  Regardless of the reason, dealing with these warnings is an extremely simple matter... whenever you get one, just reply to it.  You don't need to write anything into the message, you don't need to modify the address or any of the headers, just hit the reply button and send off whatever it is that shows up in your reply editor... all the listserver is looking for is the reference number contained in the subject box of the headers.  After you've sent the reply on its way, simply delete the original message and go on about your business.  With most email programs, taking the necessary steps to address one of these warnings typically takes no more than a few seconds... reply, send, delete.  That's it.  Failure to reply to at least one in five of these messages will result in your FlyRotary subscription being removed.

If the reply, send, delete option is too much to ask, then your only other option is to remove your normal subscription, switch to the null mode and do your reading of the
FlyRotary list on the website archives.  The null mode stops all deliveries of FlyRotary emails to your mailbox but retains your email address as a valid one for posting purposes.  The decision is up to you.   The one thing I can't do is make the warnings stop as long as you're a regular subscriber. They happen, it's just a fact of life.  Sorry about that.

 I've been getting this warning message for several weeks now a couple of
times a day, but I still have been getting the Flyrotary newsletter. Anyone
have any ideas what this is about?
