Yes. It is due to ISP bounces coming back to the ETHZ server. You do not say 
what you did with the rest of the message. Did you click on the re-enable 
hyperlink? About 250 people were recently forcibly unsubscribed on the same 
day, mostly with yahoo, gmail, or hotmail addresses,  because they had failed 
to re-enable their subscriptions. (This action by the mailserver filled up the 
mailboxes of all the moderators.)

Seek out methods of putting r-help on your whitemail list. Please do not ask me 
to describe this for you further. That is your and your ISP's responsibility to 
sort out.
