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the subscription rolls, ostensibly because the email address is no
longer valid.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.
