Today I received 18 unsubscribe notification mesages, each one telling

If they were sent at 09:00 server time (that's the default, but it could
be different) They were almost certainly unsubscribes done by Mailman's
cron/disabled job.
Thanks -Yes, that's right! 09.00 at the server's time.
This is a part of Mailman's automated bounce processing.
Glad to have this sorted out!
You should review the settings (and Details links) in your list's web
admin Bounce processing section.
Sure. Here are my bounce settings (I believe they're the default ones
though as I try not to touch stuff I don't fully understand):
bounce processing: YES
bounce score threshold: 5.0
bounce info state after: 7
bounce you are disabled warnings: 3
bounce you are disabled interval: 7
bounce unrecognized goes to list owner: YES
bounce notify owner on disable: YES
bounce notify owner on removale: YES
Beyond that, if 18 members were unsubscribed at once it is likely that
the bounces that caused their delivery to be disabled and them to
ultimately be removed were due to something other that the addresses
being invalid, e.g., DMARC or possibly some network issue.
See the FAQ article at <http://wiki.list.org/x/17891458>.
Thanks.
So I understand that a certain procedure for fighting spam has been set
up by many email providers but this is incompatible with how Mailman
works, causing problems such as the ones I'm experiencing.
Seeing that 17 out of those 18 unsubscribed messages were sent from
Hotmail I can only assume the above was what happened. Next I will
locate the other instance I had of automated removals to see if there's
a similar pattern there.
Most of the discussions in the FAQ article were over my head, so I
suppose to make it simple I should just change the "bounce processing"
option to OFF, then resubscribe all the members which were unsubscribed
and finally emailing each of them with an apology and explanation.
So, by turning this option off I will lose Mailman's ability to
automatically remove addresses which are no longer reachable? What else
will I be missing out on?
Hal
of yesterday I found that 17 of them were from hotmail. The remaining
message was from live.com.au.
I will try and find the other instance (several months ago) of Mailmain
As there seems
Most of that stuff was way over my head but I did understand that
