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email address is no longer valid.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?
