Bounced emails

[Raymond Sills]

Hi Gang:


I received today a message, supposedly from the list mom, saying that I had "too many bounced emails" and that my membership in the list was being suspended.


Can't figure why the emails should have bounced.  Unless somewhere in the bowels of AOL/Verizon that there was a major hiccup.  Other lists and direct emails appear to have not been affected.  


There is a simple "relpy to this message" to supposedly restore my account, but I'm concerned that it might be a hack that is being re-directed somewhere else.  I have not yet responded.  But, the message could be legit, since it had my list password.  Of course, sending a password in a plain text email is not such a good idea.


Maybe it all was a hiccup at Mailman.

Don't trust a "reply to this message" link. If the email said "relpy"
instead of "reply" that is even more reason not to trust it. You can check
your membership by using the links at the bottom of the messages from the
list to go to the list management page where you can check your status.

Try plain text and make sure if your pc has more than one email address,
that it is set for the subscription address.

This a normal message and is pretty typical when the Elecraft list server is getting too many emails bounced back to it by your ISP.
