People can become served out for various reasons, most often because
they've sent 50 consecutive bad commands to LISTSERV.  (This in turn
usually happens because they have an autoresponder which has
exchanged mail with LISTSERV.)  See
http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/owner-faq.stm#4 for more information on
this (including how to restore service to served out users).
