Accidental indeed! You are right, Karl, that many had mail messages disabled.
No doubt due to my misconfiguration a week ago...
I've now reset ALL the mailman "bounce scores," so hopefully people are getting this message even if they were temporarily held. Sorry I didn't see this problem earlier - I don't have mailman set to send notifications when a bouncing address' email is temporarily disabled.
Greg, thank you.
I'm afraid I've never administered mailman myself before: could you confirm that resetting the bounce scores also re-enables the accounts?
Yes, that's what it does. Or is supposed to do.
The list sent me a notification that I was required to manually re-enable my account for me to receive email from it again, and I don't know whether you've experienced or dealt with this before yourself.
Do you mean, AFTER I sent my note above? Or before? The fix I applied was supposed to reset everyone, so nobody needs to manually reset. Perhaps I didn't do what I thought, but it looked like all subscribers were set to again receive mail, and any previous bounces were forgotten. - Greg
