It's fairly normal for mailing lists to auto-unsubscribe you if mail to you keeps bouncing. The difference is most don't tell you in advance that there were delivery problems. If your mail account was permanently disabled, say because you'd deleted the account, should the mailing list keep sending mails to you anyway, even though every one of them bounced back? > > > > On Mar 22, 2019, at 4:58 PM, Jonathan Wakely <jwakely.gcc@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > On Fri, 22 Mar 2019 at 23:55, Perry Wagle <wagle@xxxxxxx> wrote: > >> > >> > >> Hello human! > >> > >> Whats the deal with these every couple weeks:? > > > > It means your email provider (specifically, the mail server for > > mac.com) rejected an email from the gcc-help mailing list, because it > > violated the mail server's policies (see the last line, which shows > > the error that the gcc.gnu.org mail server got from the mac.com mail > > server). > > > > That usually happens because somebody sent spam to the gcc list, which > > got forwarded to every subscriber, but your mail provider flagged it > > as spam and refused to accept it.
