It’s hard to know every situation. My gmail account for list testing doesn’t do anything odd on the few times that I have used it.
Josh, I would have to trace every step being made to know what, when and how this or that happened. Obviously, Mailman (not related to AWS) thought you were still subscribed if you received an email. And, the unsubscribe thing was probably tied to when you, in your words… unsubscribed. Can I explain the timing on WHEN you received the email…No. Usually though, when we have tracked these situations fully for people, it’s pretty predictable or definable on what happened when. Enough so, that when someone asks about a problem, the first thing we check is the AWS suppression list. It doesn’t happen, but goes in waves if you will. Just like AFMUG email in general goes through mini-seasons when some firewall, spam systems suddenly detect it as spam, and someone has to complain that those emails are not spam, and then they run fine for a long while. For example, we use Postlayer and every few months or so, “some” of the AFMUG email will go to Quarantine and we have to gripe. Some of this is just part of the deal. Best practices would be to email us when you first have a problem before you start unsubscribing and re-subscribing, because that is NOT the primary fix, and potentially compromises the troubleshooting workflow. Its like a customer unplugging all the wires to their router before they call you for support.

Once from "afmug", once from amazonses. Using google mail. On Nov 30, 2015 12:58 PM, "Paul McCall" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Guys, I need to jump in here. There is nothing going on with the list... hasn't missed a beat in about 6 months. AWS has been rock-solid for us. However, if you have any delivery problems (AWS not able to talk to your mail server) you WILL get put on the AWS suppression list, and we have to submit to have you removed from that list, which happens very quickly. I know that one of the suggested fixes for any AFMUG mail related concerns, has been to unsubscribe, then resubscribe, that is only a fix for a very small number of cases. You are welcome to try that as it doesn't hurt anything. Again though, if your problems related to non-delivery of mail to your server for any reason, that problem is only fixed through submitting to AWS to get off the suppression list.
