I WAS gone for a week in Florida over spring break; could that be the reason?
If your mail box filled up and bounced incoming mail it certainly could
be.

To avoid that, if I am going to be gone for a time I usually unsubscribe
from the lists, then resubscribe when I return.

I just have an ISP that allows gigabyte and more mailboxes.... (I am my
own "real" mail ISP. I fetch it from Earthlink and store it here. Loren
keeps emails on the servers. I don't. So all 4+ GiB I have stored is no
problem at all. There's another 287 GiB where that 4 came from. But I
do not expect to use it ALL for only email.)
