[Leica] Bounced Messages??

[Brian Reid]

Sigh.

This is a result of incompetent spam filtering by your ISP. It is a big 
problem in the world of mailing lists. What happens is that someone 
sends to the LUG a message that your ISP believes to be spam, and your 
ISP sends back an automated bounce message saying "we reject this 
message because it is spam". The LUG software sees that bounce message 
and counts it. When it gets too many such messages, it does what you 
saw.

I always contact the ISP's support desk when this happens. In general 
they are ignorant and hostile and are unwilling to address the problem.

Google wants the entire world to use gmail, so they sit back and quietly 
smile when this happens, because they know that people will try gmail in 
frustration when their regular ISP bungles spam.

I'll reactivate your Comporium subscription, but Comporium will probably 
keep using low-quality spam filters and therefore this will likely 
happen again.
