Thanks Bill, pretty much bang on. The intent was for the majority of subscribers who lurk to have a think about how they might avoid getting kicked off the list. Not the "usual suspects", but those who metaphorically stand at the back of the room near the coffee machine. For those not familar with Mailman, it processes bounces according to a rule marking them as "hard" (+1 point) or "soft" (+0.5). Only one increment happens per day. If the total score for a subscriber exceeds 10, then their membership is disabled. They then receive one notification every 7 days until 3 have been sent, at which point they are forcibly unsubscribed. The bounce counter is reset to 0 once a subscriber doesn't bounce for 7 days. So... we don't need to reach out to people, as the MLM software does that for us.
