That's not good. Just today I handled two bounces from of of my lists, both
of the subscribers using the same ISP. The bounce message said, "----- The
following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----

(reason: 571 prohibited. We do not relay)"

This let me know that the addresses were still good, so I contacted both
subscribers directly to let them know that list messages were bouncing.
Presumably they will be able to straighten things out with suscom. I'm not
sure what "we do not relay" means, but at least it gave the subscribers
something to go on.
