        Back then your email address started to bounce somehow.

        I have already forgotten the details, but when we get
        bounces (often quite a lot), we remove the offender's
        subscriptions. We let email to somebody's domain to
        stay in VGER's queue for at least 2d12h, then it *may*
        get into kill zone, but when oldest one exceeds 3d0h,
        (it begins to bounce) the whole queue to that domain
        gets axed along the subscriptions to it.

        Do check your email address functionality.
        Use http://zmailer.org/mxverify.html

        Always be wary of your email environment going boinkers.
        (We see a few ISP's with systems bouncing email "just because
         we are a bit loaded right now, we reject this, please send
         it again if you want to reach this person ...")
        (We don't, we remove the subscription.)
