I'd prefer that such folks subscribe again if still interested.  You've
provided that option, so that's not a complaint about the design.  Note
that the "one last warning" may well bounce in this case.

On the other hand, I was on one list with a one bounce and you're out rule
(clearly stated in the welcome message).  That's too draconian for even me
to use (I had to resubscribe about 4 times over 3 years).  They were using
Majordomo, and the person in charge had a quick trigger finger.  ;-)
