Just checked the Listar messages -- it says that between July 23rd and
24th it received 14 bounces from you saying "we do not relay", so it
unsubscribed you.

What could be the cause of this ?

I am the mail admin and i not even touched it in the last month and any why
its not filtering any of the incoming messages.

maybe it related with dns ?

wild guess: IIX was down tonight for a few hours, your mail went to a
secondary MX that doesn't know it's your secondary so it bounced it. see
who your secondary MX is, and make sure it accepts mail for you.

now kick this off the list, this is where it starts getting off topic.

I don't know, unfortunately I don't have the original bounce message
anymore. Perhaps one of the other linux-il admins has it and can check
it out to see what's the problem?

Hold on, this might not be so OT yet. We had DNS problems yesterday
because of a faulty NIC in tango.tcltek.co.il. The problem lasted from
about 15:00 until 22:30 yesterday. The secondaries should have worked fine
though.

  Just checked the Listar messages -- it says that between July 23rd and
  24th it received 14 bounces from you saying "we do not relay", so it
  unsubscribed you.

All the replies to the above question seemed to focus on why exactly his
messages bounced for two days. But the fact is that it is quite normal for
mail hosts to go down (or worse, come up with a bad configuration) for two
days. Of course, big companies keep backup servers, redundant network
connections, secondary mail exchanges and all kinds of tricks to keep such an
embaracing thing from happening but small sites often can't afford it, or
don't know how to do it.

So the mailing list managers must be less "trigger-happy", and not remove
people with bouncing addresses until, say, 2 weeks have passed. Even errors
like "user not known" are not "final" - it can simply mean, for example, that
the mailserver's disks got trashed, and the OS was reinstalled and brought
online but not all backups were brought back (this shouldn't be done, of
course, but it nevertheless happens).

This is what I do on the mailing lists I run.

P.S. from my experience, "we do not relay" bounces usually happen when the
machine is down, and a secondary mail-exchange was set up for it without that
other machine's administrator being notified of this. For example, a Netvision
customer may assume that he can put "mx10.netvision.net.il" as a secondary
mail exchange, but this is not true without talking to Netvision's admins
first.
