Can someone explain what, if anything, I can do to avoid this problem in the future?

I have read the posts and looked at other information on the internet. My mail address is not Yahoo, Hotmail etc. so is the problem with the original sender of the mail?

Keep it simple if possible ... I have never understood all the complexities of how email works .. like many others, I am just a computer *user* !

Bill,

There is no fixing this. The companies have made a stupid change to their email systems. The solution is to not use yahoo, hotmail, etc. There is a huge thread on this at Towertalk. It is effecting lots of people.

So because your email address domain (e.g. yahoo.com) does not match the
sending domain (e.g. contesting.com) a whole bunch of servers are bouncing your reflector emails. And the reflectors are unsubscribing you because of
too many bounces.

REPLY:

Actually, nobody is getting unsubscribed but rather being put on a temporary hold status because of too many bounces. You need to talk to your ISP (yahoo.com, hotmail.com or whoever) and get this rectified.

In the meantime, if you email me direct I will re-instate your service immediately, but of course, the same thing could happen again if the problem with your ISP is not fixed.

Also please note that with some ISPs (such as mine) you will not see your own messages to the reflector. They do this to save bandwidth, so they say. My ISP is based on Google, and I I am told that gmail does the same thing. You can overcome this by cc'ing or bcc'ing yourself if you wish.
