I'm sure it must be frustrating at times dealing with chat issues. I didn't
mean to strike a nerve on this Rick. We appreciate your expertise on this and
have a great vacation.

Rick, sounds like the 'relax' part of the cruise has not kicked in yet... ;)

It does it when there are excessive bounced messages trying to deliver to that

notorious for bouncing mail overzealously - they are simply Crap, putting it
mildly.
When that happens too much, the list server eventually says "Screw it. If they
won't accept mail, I'll put the user on vacation mode so I don't waste my
bandwidth and CPU cycles trying over and over until they get their act
together."
It's actually a very sensible approach taken by almost every list server
software out there. People with crappy mail services don't always see it that
way, however.... But seriously, that is NOT the list server's fault - it's a
flaky recipient mail server that bounces mail it shouldn't that causes the
problem in the first place.
I'm on a cruise this week, so my internet access is sporadic at best. Hopefully
this will reach you, and Ian or Jeff can take action in my absence to
un-vacation you before next Sunday when I return. Or, you can do it yourself
through the freelists.org web site.
Cheers,

Why does the service do this without warning? Maybe freelists isn't the best
place for ROC.

Actually, Rick cannot fix this for everybody… You should just go to your
account settings and turn off vacation mode yourself.

The setting for your email has probably been set to 'vacation mode.' I'm sure
Rick will get it fixed.
