If you, like me, are the administrator of one or more KDE emai lists, you may have recevied a small (or large) flood of emails a few hours ago letting you know that various addresses had been automatically unsubscribed from your list. When I received my share of these emails I grew concerned: why were 80 addresses suddenly axed from the plasma-devel list?
Well, fear and worry not. It's just our sysadmins doing what they do best: making our infrastructure better. The new mailing list server is now handling bounces correctly and if an address bounces too much then it automatically unsubs the address. The mailing list setup on the old and venerable ktown server wasn't doing this, and so stale addresses had piled up over time.
I was relieved to find out that's all it was when I asked in #kde-sysadmin on irc. Whew! :)
