Melani brought to my attention a bunch of unsubscribes from the
univcity list yesterday. Checking my logs, I found an entry at Tue Oct
21 10:20:12 EDT 2003 that indicated that mail to all of you bounced
last night.
I do wonder if this had anything to do with a DDOS attack that hit
part of Drexel Monday night. But this was the morning, so I suspect
not.
Anyway, it appears no foul play was intended as far as the list was
concerned, for those paranoid enough to think so. Those addresses came
back as refused in a way that the automated list maintenance software
viewed as invalid addresses, so it unsubscribed them. Usually it gets
it right.
I've resubscribed all of you to the univcity list. If you were
subscribed to other lists or wanted something else, please go to
https://list.purple.com/
or
http://www.purple.com/list.html
and adjust your subscriptions as you like.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
-Jeff
ps: Melani, the reason Ross knows so much is he spends the time to
check. Any subscriber can request of the list server the current
subscriber list.
