One possibility is that recipients have inadvertently punched the
block mail button without realizing they were blocking MMD.  I have
done this myself with acceptable email accounts when the subject
looked like spam.

It has become especially easy to make this error with AOL 8 since
that version includes a button to block and notify AOL of spammers
without opening the mail.

 [ Say!  I didn't know of that mechanism.  Here are some recent
 [ rejection messages in the MMDigest "bounce messages" directory:

 [ ISP for Karl Ellison: "unauthorized relay traffic prohibited"
 [ ISP for Marc Elbasani: "Rejected: [sending address] listed
 [   at inflow.noflow.org"
 [ (That domain name sounds like constipation symptoms!  ;-)

 [ Thanks, Don.
