The mailing list archives and existing Github issues (open or closed) may also have an answer to your question.</p>

<p>There are two possible solutions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Go to the <a href="https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/">mailing-list</a> mailman interface, click on <strong>Unsubscribe or edit options</strong>, and turn <em>digest mode</em> on.</li>
<li>Access the mailing-lists using a "news reader".</li>

<p>Only subscribers are allowed to post to the mailing-list. This is done to avoid spammers.</p>

<p>There are two possible reasons: If your account generates too many bounces you'll be automatically unsubscribed. Please subscribe again with a more reliable account. If we receive even one <em>out of office notification</em> from your vacation program, your address will be unsubscribed and banned from our mailing-lists forever. Sorry for that, there are just too many stupid people out there.</p>
