LISTSERV@OEEO.OCT.CA has just received the enclosed delivery error as a result of a probe sent to your BDBC4C8D68@NEWSLETTERCOLLECTOR.COM account for the NEWSLETTER list. If you are reading this message, it means that your mail system is successfully delivering mail to your mailbox, while at the same time reporting that an error has occurred (or, alternatively, the error could be due to a system problem that has since then been fixed). At any rate, LISTSERV has no way to know that you have actually received the present message, and is operating on the assumption that your email address is no longer valid. Typically, LISTSERV will send you one or more additional probe messages, on a daily basis, to determine whether the failure persists. If a failure does persist, then you will eventually be removed from the list. Some lists are configured to remove users on the first failure.
Assuming you have not yet been removed from the list, then you can stop this process by sending the following command to LISTSERV@OEEO.OCT.CA as soon as possible:
This will tell LISTSERV that your account actually does work and that you still want to receive mail from the NEWSLETTER list.
While the CONFIRM command will solve your immediate problem, it coule be a matter of time until you find yourself in the same situation again. Please take a look at the enclosed error report and try to determine whether it is a genuine error or just an informational message. Keep in mind that this error report was processed by a computer that cannot tell "User JAIME24 does not exist" from "Please note that the Department of Microbiology will be closed from December 19 to January 2". These informational messages, while possibly useful to a reader, should not be sent in reply to a message coming from a mailing list (it is very easy for the mail program to determine whether a message is coming from a mailing list). Genuine errors should be reported to your computer/network support staff as soon as possible so they can be corrected.
