[NTLK] [ADMIN] Disabled Membership Messages

[Grant Hutchinson]

Just a quick update.

I'm not sure what was going on earlier today, but dozens of NewtonTalk  
members received messages that their accounts had been disabled. I  
haven't been able to determine whether it was a spurious issue with  
the mailing list software or a problem with Media Temple who host of  
the NewtonTalk server. However, the error messages sent back to my  
admin account seem to indicate that something in the Plesk control  
panel at Media Template failed.

It looks like it was mostly Gmail, Yahoo, .Mac. MobileMe, and Hotmail  
addresses that were affected ... but not all of them. In fact, my own  
email account (which is a personal domain hosted at Bluehost) was  
disabled as well.

I'm looking into the problem, but it's really a mystery as to why this  
would have happened. In the meantime, I have gone through the entire  
list membership and manually re-enabled all subscriptions.

(Here's hoping this message makes it through.)
