Hi Chris,
Nothing top secret - actually I don't need to know much more than you to
setup and admin the list, freelists is very well setup in that regard.
Freelists seems to use Ecartis mailing list software - I haven't setup
many different list types so don't know a lot about the different server
side software.
Re the issue of people being unsubscribed, Freelists say the problem is
mostly Yahoo which keep changing their setup - I noticed a message from
Sagar just now which had the from stating "Sagar (Redacted user for
DMARC)" - when I looked that up it seems Yahoo recently changed their
mail server to mark anything which is listed as from a yahoo account but
which was not sent directly from a yahoo server (eg if you send the
message via your ISP's mail server, which most ISPs make you do when
using a mail client rather than the web interface) then it marks the
message as redacted (which means "edited" so to be honest I'm not 100%
of the meaning in this context) and apparently ask receiving servers to
reject the message. Freelists and many other lists, specifically now do
not reject the message, as that is the kind of thing which was causing
problems earlier.
Outlook.com, msn.com, and a few other domains were also being rejected
earlier and I'm not sure if that was for similar reasons.
In any case, I've now set the list to set users to 'vacation' mode after
10 errors, rather than unsubscribing after 2 which was the default
setting - so if it does happen again I should be able to easily see and
fix the affected users hopefully.
Regards
Quentin.

Qwentin,
I don't mean to pry, and perhaps this is server sided stuff you don't
want to discuss for security reasons, but keeping things very general,
what does Freelists use for the listser? Do they use Mailman? Based
on things I've seen with the list info page, the way you subscribe,
etc. I'm wanting to think, yes. They do.
I just ask as I wonder why this issue keeps occurring. I wonder if
freelists.org have applied the heart bleed patch to their server, as
if not, then there really isn't anything we can do until they do.
Chris.
