That's not cool. :-P
Yeah. With about 1,800 people on this list, that sort of thing (or misconfigured vacation scripts, spam challenge systems, bounces, etc.) happens regularly :(. If anyone gets them, just forward them to my attention (preferably with full headers) and I'll try to figure out what address caused it and remove them. I've just removed Informa. When someone is removed (or unsubscribes themselves), they get a message like this: So long, and thanks for all of the fish. We hope you enjoyed the list--feel free to resubscribe later. If you did not unsubscribe yourself, you were unsubscribed by an administrator. This is almost always because we were receiving bounce or auto-response messages from your address. Examples are server bounces ("message could not be delivered to user--nonexistant", or "mailbox full"), vacation auto-responders ("I will be away until Thursday of next week, please contact Stacy Sue for anything urgent"), or anti-spam messages ("BlahCorp mail gateway determined that your message is spam", "Please visit this URL to prove you are a human before your mail will get through". List messages are sent with the header "Precedence: bulk". Please don't auto-respond to such messages. Once you have fixed your vacation responder (or whatever), feel free to resubscribe. Thanks!
