Normally I wouldn't answer on the list, but other juno members
may get the same message:

This is an odd one. Message 601 was around 65K in length
(it was the Lotus Notes MIME stuff that I didn't filter at
the time). juno doesn't allow long messages (you get what you
pay for), so it keeps rejecting that message. ezmlm keeps getting
a rejection message, and keeps trying to send it. After 12 days
it starts checking to see if the address is still good. Just
respond when asked by the probe message.

The probe will succeed, so you won't be kicked off the list.

This is how ezmlm responds to people with overflowing mailboxes,
accounts that have be shut down, etc; it's pretty much
automatic, and convenient for the list admins. Just ask Jim Fay
and Cap Bromley; on majordome they had just reached their
millionth message concerning overflowing mailboxes, bad account
names, bounced mail, etc.
