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.
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.
I have no idea if this has been the case, but one typical issue for years has been people having an automatic reply set to say "I'm on vacation, not available" and bouncing back to the list.
Yes, but as seife said, those are not bounces, they are legitimate responses (no matter how annoying they are). What has sometimes happened is perhaps a poorly configured auto-reply that has been sent to the envelope-from which mailman _will_ consider to be a bounce. Any decent vacation setup should just ignore mails with List-* headers, it is easily done with sieve. Anyway, it's all really off-topic here :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.9°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes
