It seems that there's a bug in mlmmj...
I'm looking into it, I have the list of people who got unsubscribed,
but
it's unclear if there's a way to work-around besides switching from
this
mlmmj thing to another mailing list manager.
98 people got unsubscribed automagically by mlmmj on the 26th of
October
as a result of a silly bug which I spotted but need to investigate a
bit
more as I'm not familiar with the mlmmj code base.
I have subscribed these addresses again, sorry for the nuisance.
Looks for me a bit like mlmmj-unsub was invoked with the "-q" option.
Maybe there was found a way to trigger this option through an
unsubscribe request?
As I'm running some lists with mlmmj too, would you tell me the version
you are using? Could you keep me/us updated if you report a bug?
thanks
Kai
