I thought that this wasn't going to happen anymore. Note that my e-mail is a MSN address not an AOL address.
Byron Blood -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of University of Minnesota LISTSERV Server (15.0) Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2014 00:05 To: Byron Blood Subject: Your removal from the MOU-NET list Sun, 25 May 2014 00:04:48 You have been automatically removed from the MOU-NET list (Minnesota Birds) as a result of repeated delivery error reports from your mail system. This decision was based on the list's automatic error monitoring policy, and has not been reviewed or otherwise confirmed by a person. If you receive this message, then it means that something is wrong. While you are obviously able to receive mail, your mail system has been regularly reporting that your account did not exist, or that you were otherwise permanently unable to receive mail. Here is some information that may assist you or your local help desk in determining the cause of the problem: - The failing address is [email protected]. - The first error was reported on 2014-05-20. - Since then, a total of 12 delivery errors have been received. - The last reported error was: 5.1.1 550 5.7.0 (COL004-MC2F54) Unfortunately, messages from (134.84.119.232) on behalf of (AOL.COM) could not be delivered due to domain owner policy restrictions. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THIS MESSAGE. While you can re-subscribe to the list, it is important for you to report this problem to your mail administrator so that it can be solved. This problem is not specific to the MOU-NET list, and may also affect your private mail. This means that YOU MAY HAVE LOST SOME PRIVATE MAIL AS WELL. Anyone trying to write to you during the same time frame might have received the same errors for the same reason. The MOU-NET list is only one of the many people who may have tried to write to you while your mail system was malfunctioning. DO NOT LET TECHNICAL PEOPLE CONVINCE YOU THAT THIS IS NORMAL. It is never normal for a mail system to claim that a valid, working account does not exist, just as it would not be normal for the post office to return some of your mail with "addressee unknown" when the address was written correctly. It is true that some mail systems are less reliable than others, and your technical people may be doing the best they can with the tools they have. But, ultimately, the level of service that you are receiving is the result of a business decision, and not something due to a universal technical limitation that one can only accept. Reliable mail systems do exist, and it is ultimately up to you to decide whether this level of service is acceptable or not. ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
