I think the only thing that happens on Freelists if a mail gets bounced
because of the thread being too long is the mail is sent to the admins
with a notice that it needs to be approved to go forward to the list.
I never approve mails that bounce because of excessive length,
preferring to remind people to trim long threads occasionally.
If I get too many bounces caused by other things, like a member no
longerbeing available on an address from which they subscribed, I just
unsubscribe that address.

Not really very likely is it Glenn? You see, this is not a groups.io
list. The clue is in the email address.

I then have to go to the groups.IO site and unbounce my account in order

get messages again.
That hasn't happened with this server, but your message may have alerted
me
to how to prevent that groups.IO problem from happening again.

Subject: [raspberry-vi] Reminder about very long threads
Hello folks
Here is a reminder that threads which get very long can bounce.
I then get an email saying 'abc@xyz post needs approval'.
I prefer to not have to process these bounces myself, and ask that
everybody keep in mind to trim the quoted stuff from the end of long
threads.
My reasons for not processing such bounces and sending on messages to
the list are related to the amount of time I have available for
administration of this list. Not very much.
Mike
