Bug Description

I posted just a few too many emails to the mailing list for the group "~mysticgalaxies" and I got a notification that I would no longer be receiving emails. The email looked like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Your membership in the mailing list Mysticgalaxies has been disabled
due to excessive bounces The last bounce received from you was dated
08-Apr-2009. You will not get any more messages from this list until
you re-enable your membership. You will receive 3 more reminders like
this before your membership in the list is deleted.

To re-enable your membership, you can simply respond to this message
(leaving the Subject: line intact), or visit the confirmation page at

    http://lists.launchpad.net/mailman/confirm/mysticgalaxies/a37b41225f8fbfd6462b522672bc22a7b1966cfc

You can also visit your membership page at

    http://lists.launchpad.net/mailman/options/mysticgalaxies/meoblast%40aol.com

On your membership page, you can change various delivery options such
as your email address and whether you get digests or not. As a
reminder, your membership password is

    not_the_real_password

If you have any questions or problems, you can contact the list owner
at

    <email address hidden>
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The links were dead. I tried replying to the email but that did not fix it.

This is strange because we don't have bounce processing enabled. In fact, we don't even run the bounce processor.

Could I please be unbanned from my mailing list though?

You're not actually banned from your list. You got bounce disabled, but fortunately the Mailman integration on Launchpad will reset that every 5 minutes or so. You should be able to safely ignore this bounce notification and continue to use your list. Please let me know if that's not the case.

For purposes of this bug, I found out that we actually /do/ run the BounceRunner. That's a mistake, and one that should be easily corrected. I'll work on that fix.
