it turns out that a given subscriber has List mail forwarded from his or her

try to send posting submissions from the address at which they read the mail.
The list server rejects mail from that address because it is not subscribed.
Also, some people try to unsubscribe or change their subscription
configurations from addresses that are not subscribed. The simple solution is
to address the list server only from the subscribed e-mail address.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Language

best-behaved people.) Please do not jump to this conclusion unless you
have received prior reprimands and warnings (which happen very rarely,
have not happened at all for well over two years). If you find yourself
disconnected from Lowlands-L, the reason is most likely that the automated
server has unsubscribed your address because of repeated
"bouncing," i.e., because your mail servers keep informing the
list server that you cannot be reached or is filled above quota. Most of
the time this is due to temporary disconnection.</span></li>
