My experience over the past 2 weeks (1 of which on vacation, but made no change here to stop receiving mails) seems to be related, but I had ALL my subscriptions silently dropped at some point.
Subscribers are always notified when they are unsubscribed, but if mails are bouncing, obviously that won't go through either.
Well, thanks to Scott I noticed I was unsubscribed from 2 mailing lists last week. This seems to have happened for several people, having different mail servers. I don't think you can neglect this as a case of "stupid mail servers of the subscribers". I think this was really some openSUSE issue. Just trying to put responsibility to the customers is not appropriate in this case, I think.
When mailman sees an address bouncing, after a number of bounces, delivery is first disabled, then probes are sent. I think it takes more than one bouncing probe to be unsubscribed.
Had no idea that happened and it's a shame it seems there's no better way to auto-correct it than:
1. think 'its eems I haven't received lists.opensuse.org mails in a while, hmm' 2. open https://lists.opensuse.org/archives and see if things are indeed being posted 3. check https://lists.opensuse.org/manage/lists/ and see if I'm still subscribed as I'd expected
Except for (3), it is much as it has always been, going back twenty+ years.
We are always open to suggestions, but if there is room for improvement, it's most probably an upstream mailman3 topic.
