This will make you laugh:
Your membership in the mailing list WikiEN-l has been disabled due to excessive bounces The last bounce received from you was dated 01-Oct-2003. You will not get any more messages from this list until you re-enable your membership. You will receive 3 more reminders like this before your membership in the list is deleted.
I don't know what that's about, unless I've posted too many times in one day? It would be ironic if the LIST ADMINISTRATOR himself got deleted from the mailing list!! ^_^
I'd have to go in, *as administrator*, and re-instate myself.
A 'bounce' is a mail the mailing list attempted to send to you that has failed due to some reason (e.g.: mail address invalid, maximum mailbox size reached, etc). If too many of the mails it tries to send to you bounce, the mailing list software assumes that your email- account is either broken or expired and stops sending more mails.
So it's not related to the number of articles you sent to the list but the numbers of mails the list was not able to deliver to you.
