I dont know your exact curcumstance but I was unsubscribed because my
10mb pop3 email box was swen'ed for more than a week. And the mail that
was sent, couldn't be delivered to a full mailbox. And after many
attempts, it decided I was no longer a vaild email address. As your your
remarks about your ISP, I got a similar respose. Helpfull, but they could
do nothing. Spam they could block, virii they felt I needed to get. So, I
have to download MB's of virii and use a simple procmail filter to remove
it but my big ISP is helpless. Jeez.
