Does any one have any information on who's being subscribed to these lists?
I got a message the other day that I ignored, asking me to confirm a subscription,
but there's been only one of them, and a member of a list that I run appears to have
been subscribed to a list she had no intention of joining. She reports getting
thousands of messages from people complaining about being subscribed to the list.
