I would guess the problem is at your end, as nobody else has posted that they're having problems with the list. Have a look in your exim logs, and see if there are any messages from the list that are being treated differently to the rest. In particular, make sure you're not bouncing any list mail, or you will end up being automatically unsubscribed. Your exim question did get through, and attracted a reply from the dman himself, which I am quoting below, and also CCing you in case replies to your posts are also not getting through.
