I can't believe you quoted "Hot Rock"!  Double bonus points if you quote 
"Hopscotch" or "The Court Jester". 

The holy trinity in my family!

I hate getting "probed" in this way, especially when it is done by a method 
that "lacks  flexibility  and forgiveness".

This message is  a "probe" for your subscription to  the MoPo-L list. You do 
not need to  take any action to remain subscribed to  the list, and in 
particular you should  not reply to this message. Simply  discard it now, or  
read on  if  you would  like  to  know more  about  how this  probing mechanism 
works.

A  "probe"  is a  message  like  the one  you  are  reading, sent  to  an 
individual subscriber  and tagged  with a  special signature  to uniquely 
identify  this  particular  subscriber  (you can  probably  not  see  the 
signature because it is in the  mail headers). If the subscriber's e-mail 
address is no longer valid, the  message will be returned to LISTSERV and the 
faulty  address will be  removed from  the list. If  the subscriber's address 
is still valid, the message will not bounce and the user will not be deleted.

The main advantage  of this technique is that it  can be fully automated; the 
list owner does not need to read a single delivery error. For a large or active 
 list, the manpower  savings can  be tremendous. In  fact, some lists are  so 
large that it  is virtually impossible to  process delivery errors manually. 
Another advantage is that the special, unique signatures make it possible to 
accurately process delivery errors that are otherwise unintelligible, even to 
an experienced technical person.

The  drawback,  however,  is  that  this  method  lacks  flexibility  and 
forgiveness. Since the Internet does not provide a reliable mechanism for 
probing an  e-mail address without  actually delivering a message  to the human 
 recipient, the  subscribers  need to  be  inconvenienced with  yet another 
"junk message". And, unlike  a human list owner, LISTSERV follows a number of  
simple rules in determining when and  whether to terminate a subscription. In  
particular, a common  problem with automatic  probes is mail gateways  that 
return a delivery  error, but do deliver  the message anyway.  LISTSERV  has no 
 way  to  know that  the  message  was in  fact delivered, and in most cases 
the subscriber is not aware of the existence of these  "false" error reports.  
If this  happens to you,  LISTSERV will send you  another message with a  copy 
of the delivery  error returned by your mail system, so that you can show it to 
your technical people.
