 I did everything in the instructions to re-enable my membership, it all
 failed.
 I finally un-subscribed, and re-subscribed, and now I am receiving the
 list again.
 
 I was wondering what caused this msg to be sent to me?
 I get my mail from my ISP's pop server, I haven't received any
 notifications of my emails to the list bouncing.
 If mail from the list to me bounces off my ISP's SMTP server, it's not
 my fault.
 
 What's up with this?

Its not about fault. Its not a punchement or something like that. Its
about stopping the bounces. Mail bounces trigger a mechanisme that send
this message amoung other things.

According to the error message, mails from the list to you were being
bounced by your SMTP server.  Since this causes undue load on the
FreeBSD mail servers, you were removed from the list to prevent the
problem from continuing.

Complain to your ISP about the problem.
