I had my list subscription automatically turned off once. I had sent email about this to the list admin. He replied with the log of 'rejects' from my e-mail hosting service. I was able to go back & forth a couple of times and get the issue resolved. This was a while back. The e-mail hosting floks wanted to enforce a flow-control on high bandwidth pumping hosts (apparently ISPs can negociagte some of this) So, the first step they took in this direction is to reject e-mails from hosts they suspected taking too much of thier bandwidth :( Satish
