that would involve intelligence, and something more than majordomo
does at the moment.

 Hello Mutt-Users
 
 There seems to be something wrong with the list today. I didn't get one
 mail from the list today although there seem to be several mails posted as I
 see on the archiv. Anything wrong with my subscription? Or just a
 problem with the web?

I've been getting mails fine all day.

I imagine that you have been quietly unsubscribed because of some glitch.
As I understand it, the list software watches for so many bounces before
deciding that you must really be gone, but the list gets enough traffic
that the threshold is reached before whatever random hole in the 'net
gets fixed and your mail gets to you again.

There was one time when it was hitting me so often that I contemplated
setting up a cron job to resubscribe myself every day, but that would
have been rude and the problem fixed itself anyway :-)

Try signing up again, and welcome back :-)

I too seem to be suffering from random unsubscribtions. I hate the fact
that i don't get a message telling me I've been booted off, because I
have to wait for a day or two without getting any messages before I
realize something is fishy :)

It's a problem, people get un subbed when mail starts bouncing ...

If I was to send a message to the address ... it would bounce ...

I guess I could set-up a bounce list, and if anyone got removed
for bouncing, they get auto-added to that one ... but then that
would only send a warning out infrequently, and you'd have to
manually remove yourself from it.

Right.

Of course :-)

What about the workaround of sending a probe and waiting to see if that
bounces, perhaps having sent it after a delay?

 Right.

Yeah, that would be a good idea if the mail was actually legitimately
bouncing.

 Of course :-)

Sure, if the mail was actually bouncing. But it's not like my ISP takes
my email address offline for fun every couple of days. I want to know
why mutt-users unsubscribes me randomly when no other mailing lists have
this problem.

 What about the workaround of sending a probe and waiting to see if that
 bounces, perhaps having sent it after a delay?

That'd work for me.
