Ok, this is going to (potentially) be news for everyone... :-)

If anyone's email starts bouncing badly, but in a (seemingly) non-fatal way,
my usual answer is to NOMAIL you. It keeps you subscribed to the list, but
cleans up my inbox. In most cases, I consider a "fatal" error to be one that
indicates that your domain is still good, but that you (everything left of the
"@" in your email) is bad. Most other things I consider to be non-fatal and
just NOMAIL you.

Fair warning if this happens to anyone else. Worst case, just email me
directly and I can figure out why you're not getting mail.
