[QuadList] Welcome back to some AOL subscribers--Excessive Bouncescaused unsubscribes

[John]

Thanks Ted,
Had problems with about a half dozen or so addresses since I moved hosting
of email to another provider, not sure why, they are on it. Hope all you in
the US get a little bit warmer soon, about 23 deg c here in the New England
Highlands of NSW.
 
Cheers
John

Welcome back to most of our AOL folks 


Nicole Cross
Chris Hill
Ed Sharpe
Dave Satin
George Keller
George Miller
Kyle Bookholz
Mike Bitetti
Harold W. Deppe, Jr and 
Don Murray.


At 12:47:08 -0500 on Jan. 2, they were unsubscribed by the list software
after excessive bounces... the mailing list version of a feedback loop.

The message that triggered the bounces for these 10 members was


Don Norwood's reply "Dave: It's a tip projection gauge for Ampex Type-C
Machines" to Dave Sieg's "Not sure if this is for quad head alignment or ???


Have no idea why AOL's servers didn't like that :)

Or why that message didn't make it into my e-mail box. It does show up in
the QuadList
<http://mail.quadvideotapegroup.com/pipermail/quadlist_quadvideotapegroup.co
m/2014-January/date.html> Archives.

Due to the amount of spam that the list address has been getting, and which
triggers bounce advisories  that are directed to the list management
address... notice of the problem was buried among several thousand other
"bounce action notification" subject lines.

When a couple of members tried to reactivate, there were problems with
unrecognized strings.

In checking the list config I noticed that John Miller in Australia also had
been unsubscribed due to bounces. Not sure when that happened.

We manually restored their subscriptions just a few minutes ago, and hope
this messages gets through to them.

Meantime, our restored AOL members didn't miss much. The list has been
either sitting in black or with the plates off for since Chris Hill's post:
AMPEX VR2000 AUDIO HEAD ASSEMBLY NOS

We've had a number of new subscribers added in the last several months.
There are 160 members receiving these posts.

Cheers from a (relative to stereotype) chilly Northern California. 

Looking forward to a few warmer days Sunday and Monday in Phoenix and
Tuesday, Wednesday and possibly some of Thursday in the LA area.

Hope you are staying warm.

Ted
