Hi, all!
Recently I received the following letter I am forwarding here to the List:
On Monday, May 2, 2016 5:41 PM, "phys-l-request@www.phys-l.org" <
phys-l-request@www.phys-l.org> wrote:
>"Your membership in the mailing list Phys-l has been disabled due to
excessive bounces The last bounce received from you was dated
02-May-2016. You will not get any more messages from this list until
you re-enable your membership. You will receive 3 more reminders like
this before your membership in the list is deleted.
To re-enable your membership, you can simply respond to this message
(leaving the Subject: line intact), or visit the confirmation page at

I got a similar warning about a year and a half ago. In both cases, I
re-enabled my membership following the given instructions. But I do not
understand the meaning of all this and want to ask a few technical
questions. 1) Why did I start receiving this message if I had not, to my
knowledge, violated any rules of the list?2) What does "excessive bounces"
mean? In my understanding, the message bounces if the email address is
wrong. This cannot be the case here since all my messages to the List were
just responses to messages of other members.3) Usually the sender gets
immediately notified of any bounce of his/her message, with the reason for
the bounce. I had never got any such individual notifications before the
cited warning.4) Were my bounced messages still received by the List
members or were they directed back to me alone?5) Had anyone else on the
List have similar experience?
It is interesting to mention that before bothering all of you with this
personal issue I had first directly contacted the list owner with all these
questions. I did it on their own suggestion in the end of their message, it
was 4 days ago, and yet I have no response. This by itself illustrates some
aspects of communication processing in this List.
I will highly appreciate if some of you can share any available
information.
