How do you then explain that it lasted 2 days until i got affected exactly after i challenged the (potential) troll by stating: "although i seem not to be worth to be targeted by our bounce assassin," Between the first report by Greg Wooledge and this challenge i had posted half a dozen mails. No problems were to see. Many others posted and did not report unsubscriptions. So why did this bug not affect everybody ? My theory is that it was exploited in a targeted way. Have a nice day :) Thomas
