Help! - Unusual unsubscribe behavior

[Romans837]

In over 6 months of running my newsletter I have never had more than 3 or 4 people unsubscribe in a day. In the last 36 hours, I have had over 60 people unsubscribe. Now if I sent out a crappy edition, I could understand this, but the last weekly edition came out 5 or 6 days ago so this doesn't make sense.

Something seems fishy here. I've already sent my newsletter host (Listbot) an e-mail. Anyone have any clues about what's going on???

Listbot does check for bounced e-mails even when you don't send out an e-mail. i've been sitting around and without ever sending a report my listbot report will tell me i lost this e-mail addreess, i usally pop off an e-mail asking why they unsubscribed. i normally don't get a reply buti know if their mailserver is working or not..

The hits just keep on coming. I've had 93 unsubscribes since yesterday. That's more than in the last two months combined

I've sent Listbot two e-mails but haven't heard anything back. I was set to send out another newsletter tonight but will hold off until I can figure out what's going on here.

I realize that they occasionally bounce people but would they do them all on one day like this. Very discouraging...

maybe it's time u set up ur own mailing script, complete control.

Yeah, I'm growing more disenchanted with Listbot by the minute. Their customer service is very slow (I've been waiting nearly 24 hours now for a response) and the last e-mail they sent me was absolutely no help.

Over 130 "unsubscribes" in the last two days. About the same number as the last three months combined. Very strange...
