Gil, 

Your server is periodically rejecting mail coming from us claiming it contains a virus (see log entries below) or spam.  Since we know that a virus can't be sent through our server, it looks like your ISP is falsely rejecting mail from the list, thinking it's spam.  


Feb  1 22:24:02 mailman postfix/smtp[22385]: E7F62859C55: to=<gil at baudot.net>, relay=smtp.secureserver.net[64.202.166.12], delay=2, status=bounced (host smtp.secureserver.net[64.202.166.12] said: 554 The message was rejected because it contains prohibited virus or spam content (in reply to end of DATA command))

Notice that <ehertz at tcaf.org> is having the same problem as you (note the server is the same (secureserver.net) and the message was sent at the same time.

I suspect the other folks on your list using the same email server will be having the same problems.

Once your mail bounces for 5 days, you're subscription is put on hold and the warning msg is sent out.  You get 1 warning a week for 5 weeks and if you don't respond, you're unsubscribed.
