Thanks, Al. Your response is appreciated and useful. My guess is that this message was auto generated without the intervention of a human being, and that this was an auto-disconnect. As indicated, my Pianotech e-mail goes to my business e-mail, which is bundled with my phone. This service goes down on occasion, usually for an hour or two, but sometimes as long as half a day. Is this what generated the disconnect? I don't know, but it seems that if all it takes is 5 messages that could not be delivered in a short period of time (I got e-mail after 10 eastern time last night, and then again at 5 this morning, at which time I got the message), then that is a bit of a hair trigger for the BIG Boot. I cannot fathom what is served at the List management end by doing things this way. Lyris ListManager lyris-noreply at egroups.ptg.org is where the message came from. Interesting that no-reply is part of the message sender's address. I will copy this post and cc. it to <mailto:lyris at egroups.ptg.org> lyris at egroups.ptg.org which is where I sent my "unhold" command and see if a human being responds. I'm not holding my breath.

I don't have an answer, but I'm surprised you haven't received any responses yet.

Yesterday was a light day for Pianotech, but I did get Pianotech messages. I have never recieved the message shown below until this morning. A couple of years ago, I got bounced off Pianotech and was never able to get back on until I changed my email address for Pianotech to my work e-mail. That was a period of over 9 months. Terry Farrell had a similar problem of e-mail "shunning" until recently. This email message is to notify you that your membership to ptg_pianotechhtrt has been put on "hold". This means that you will not receive mail from 'ptg_pianotechhtrt'. Your subscription has been held because at least 5 recent messages have been either bounced by your email system, or could not be delivered at all. Your membership can be restored to "normal", by sending the command "unhold" to lyris at egroups.ptg.org Note that if your email address continues to reject mail your subscription will once again be "held". You may want to contact the people responsible for your electronic mail to determine why your email address has been having trouble. I do have some concerns that this may be a fake message that will create problems since I responded to it. If anyone knows about any of this stuff, I would appreciate a response, even privately, as I don't know what will or will not get through. Thanks.
