Was 2007 a good year?

Yes it was a wonderful year
Yes, but there is always room for improvement
Status quo
It was a challenge

I have received an email from 'newsletter-request@lists.castlecops.com' stating that due to excessive bounces my membership in the mailing list Newsletter has been disabled. As my email address is current and I have received and read all newsletters I am not sure if the email is legit or just a glitch in the system, has anyone else had similar? Please advise thanks.

Its legit. Here was the letter:

http://lists.castlecops.com/pipermail/newsletter/2007-June/000008.html

It contained a phish alert on a domain which was caught by ISP filters. Those catches our mailman saw as a bounce, so it bounced your memberships. Several hundred emails were affected.

Thanks Paul, I received the above newsletter ok it was the notification email from the mailman that came across as suspect due to having the following subject line:

Subject: confirm 4254b80dbb83629b7c97eea20e4e383758305455

Do those sent this email now have to confirm their membership?

Yes only those that mailman deemed the email didn't arrive at successfully. The newsletter list is the most strictly configured this way.

So whilst I (and no doubt others) received the letter the mailman deemed that it was not received and therefore cancelled the memberships of those it saw as a bounce. It is therefore necessary to click on the link to renew membership.

Ok so at least that is clear now. wacko

Are you saying my ISP bounced an email?

I use a well regarded hosting service, the email comes with the website, and it’s my domain. Their POP’s are redundant and as far as I know have never been down. There is no filtering.

I’m not complaining, but if my email is bouncing, I need to have a talk with my hosting service.

If may have due to the domain I included in the newsletter.
