Sometimes gmail's spam filter false positives on utterly random stuff.
(in this case, it decided it didn't like
http://lists.landley.net/pipermail/toybox-landley.net/2017-September/009148.html).

When that happens it refuses delivery from dreamhost's mailing list
software, so dreamhost's mailing software retries delivery, and after
they argue for a bit it accumulates enough bounce messages to disable
the account for 7 days. It does this for every single gmail user
subscribed to the list, meaning I have to go in and manually undo it
through a web interface that only shows me one letter's worth of
subscriber's at a time. (Of course I can't get command line access, it's
dreamhost. Of course I can't fix the web interface to show me everybody
at once instead of navigating through 2 dozen separate pages, it's
dreamhost.)

Unfortunately, gmail does this a _lot_...

I just went through and manually re-enabled all the disabled accounts again.

Thanks,
