[Fwd: [ncc-services-wg] disabled]

Dear Tom,

Thank you for your query, and our apologies for any inconvenience that 
this may have caused.

Your email address would have been automatically set to "disabled" after 
five messages from the list mail server bounced back from your mailbox.

This could mean that your mail server was malfunctioning, which would 
also explain why you didn't receive the notification mail that would 
have been automatically generated and sent to you.

Anyone affected by this can reenable their subscription by visiting the 
membership management page at:
http://www.ripe.net/mailman/admin/ncc-services-wg/members

If you have any further questions or suggestions about this, please 
contact <ncc at ripe.net>

Regards,

Paul Rendek

RIPE NCC
Head of External Relations and Communications

In the run up to the last RIPE meeting, I stopped receiving e-mails from the
various RIPE lists to which I am subscribed.  I thought it odd that the 
lists
should go quiet at such a time, tried resubscribing to find I was still
subscribed and eventually stumbled across 'disabled', which all my lists 
were.

I think that this procedure, of disabling subscriptions without warning, 
without
explanation and for no reason apparent to the subscriber offers room for
improvement.

I cannot recall ever seeing any announcement about this, at subscription 
time or
later, and having trawled the RIPE web site, I am still none the wiser 
as to how
and why subscriptions get disabled.  Even if I were, I imagine that there is
nothing on this earth I can do to stop it happening, since I did nothing 
that I
know of to make it happen the first time.

Any thoughts?

Tom Petch
