Suddenly, I and my moderators are getting 100s of posts like this (with the edited regions with actual users and links) as thread subscriptions and content type subscriptions on cron runs:

Greetings, [name edited].
|
| Your subscription on [domain edited out]
| notifies you of an updated post:
|
| ***** This post is unpublished! *****
| Author: [someuser]
| Contact: http://www.my.domain/user/2067/contact
| Title: [someuser]

| Link: http://www.my.domain/[someuser]
| Direct unsubscribe link (thread):

First, this is the first time I have ever received a "This post is unpublished email" and first time that I can recall that I am receiving about 50 to 100 of these a cron run. Can anyone tell me what they think is happening? I don't know if it is something I've done, a bug, or worse. Thanks.

I forgot to mention, it is the same content type and thread subscriptions over and over again AND they are only recent members...

Well, look at the nodes — I'm sure they're unpublished.

Investigate why said users keep updating (i.e. resaving) these nodes again and again.

Look at your watchdog log, you should see the activity there as well.

It appears that a newly added module, node expire, did some strange things and subscriptions was just reacting to that, I think. Yes, those same nodes were being repeatedly and incorrectly unpublished by the node expire module. I think there is a bug in that module from what I have read. Just had not experienced this problem until now. Thanks for your help.
