[Discussion] [Solved] Debian Mailing Lists - Unsubscribing due to no MX record

#1 Post by epp »

I received a reply to a post I made in the SID/Testing forum, but did not receive an e-mail from the site indicating there was a reply and the same e-mail address is (was?) on two Debian mailing lists.

The last e-mails that came in were from yesterday, then I discovered the e-mail domain (owned by Yahoo, via legacy AOL Mail) is now not showing an MX record (via the 'dig' command) and e-mails to the address now bounce with a 'permanent error'. A new e-mail address has been subscribed to the Debian mailing lists/forum.

Will the (now bad?) e-mail address be automatically removed from the Debian mailing lists, if enough bounces occur? I don't know of this lack of an MX record is temporary or not. I otherwise received no communication from Yahoo/AOL that the e-mail domain was being discontinued for e-mail.

Thank you.

Yes, after a bounce threshold is reached the mailserv will no longer send emails to that address.
Typo perfectionish.

E-mails started coming in just now and dig is now showing the MX record for the domain again. But I was able to successfully unsubscribe that e-mail from the mailing lists via the e-mails received and using an address more reliable. Thanks again.
