Yup, the list is currently configured such that 5 permanent smtp errors
(ie, of the 5xx type), the list will unsubscribe you. Ditto for 15
transient smtp errors (of the 4xx type). The definition of 4xx and 5xx
smtp errors are left as a research exercise for the reader... ;-)

One thing to point out is that the validation system is time dependant.
For example, if you're not subscribed and you try to authenticate using
your email address and a blank password, the link in the email you receive
is only good for a few hours. This can be troublesome, especially coupled
with different web browsers' refresh behavior.
If you have trouble with the web interface for the list, I always
recommend the email interface. Just send email to
<aklug-request@aklug.org> with a blank subject, and only the word
"subscribe" (minus the quotes) in the body. Follow the directions in the
reply, and you're good to go!
