excessive bounces - explained

[NW Modeling List]

The Mailman software which runs our mailing lists keeps up with 
e-mails that "bounce" back from the recipients mail server. If too 
many of the messages get bounced back to the server, it disables the 
account. The main purpose is to keep the list cleaned up when people 
terminate their e-mail accounts and forget to un-subscribe from the list.

If you simply reply to the e-mail you received, the mailing list 
server will re-enable your account.

Unfortunately, yahoo is using anti-spam software (usually a good 
thing) that is marking e-mails from the nw-mailing-list as spam (a bad thing).

Please ask yahoo to adjust their filter settings so that messages 
from the nw-modeling-list do not continue to be bounced. We are aware 
that spammers have been "spoofing" some of their e-mails so that it 
appears to come from our nwhs.org domain. All legitimate e-mail from 
our domain shall originate from our web server at colima.pair.com 
[209.68.4.177] or our mailing list server at six.pairlist.net 
[209.68.2.254]. Yahoo can contact our system administrators at 
pairList at pair.com if they have further concerns about spam 
originating from our servers.

Of course in these days of phishing schemes, we can never be too 
careful and it is a good thing to ask before clicking.

If you have any questions regarding the mailing lists, you can reach 
us at <list-moderator at nwhs.org>.
