I've been getting the messages at about the rate of one per day for
about the past 6 months.  I've taken to deleting them without prejudice.

   A hollow threat - I could only hope that it were not, because that
could have opened the way for me to finally stop list mail going to a
one-way only mailbox. However, I've been getting those messages for
over a month. Replying to them is useless, since the mail server
ignores messages from a Cox source.    Please cancel my subscription to dale.r@cox.net.

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no longer valid.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.
