Dear list members
This is to let you know that JISCMAIL, our new mailer
host, is automatically monitoring mailer error messages
generated from your end. With a list containing
hundreds of members there are always people moving,
changing their email addresses, having problems caused
by changes at their central mailer facility, and so on.
So I am always having to remove faulty addresses. Under
the MAILBASE system the list owner got the messages and
could ignore them if that was appropriate. For example,
every so often I get a clutch of error messages from New
Zealand, but I know that these messages will stop so I don't
remove those members.
This is to warn you that JISCMAIL will automatically
remove people after four days of error messages from
their end.
Their is a general problem wiht mailing lists: when
someone's address no longer works I want to tell them
but I can't email them!
This is today's monitoring report. I will not burden
you with such housekeeping details in future but be aware
that YOU could come under Big Brother's scrutiny and be
vapourised after only four days!

Subscribers will be automatically deleted from the list when delivery errors
have been reported for a period of 4 days or more, or when 100 delivery
errors have been received, whichever occurs first. Monitoring will cease
after 5 days without any reported error.
Note: manually deleted subscribers may remain on the monitoring report under
an alias address. Such entries will expire eventually; you do not need to do
anything about them.
