Removed from ListServ as a result of repeated Delivery Error Reports from your mail system

Issue

People have reported that they have been removed from a ListServ.

The error message received is "You have been automatically removed from the <listserv name> list (for example: Campus Events) as a result of repeated delivery error reports from your mail system. This decision was based on the list's automatic error monitoring policy and has not been reviewed or otherwise confirmed by a person. If you receive this message, then it means that something is wrong. ..."

Environment

This article applies to ListServ subscribers who have been automatically removed from receiving messages they want to receive.

Cause

What has created this issue: At some time in the past you marked a message or messages from a listserv sender as spam or manually added it to your Blocked Senders list at some point. The Exchange email system doesn’t accept delivery due to the block, so when ListServ messages were routed through Exchange, that block was then enforced and maximum block counts begin to increase until the account reaches the limit which you were notified about.

Resolution

You will need to remove the sender from your *Blocked Senders* list via that option in your BWA account.
