I ran into this problem, too. Same company even.
The vim mailing list uses ezmlm. When I tried subscribing to the list
with my new address, the "confirm subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]" notice was
indeed sent to the envelope address instead of the From: address.
However, the notice also contained the descriptions of a lot of
administrative commands, including:
You can start a subscription for an alternate address,
for example "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", just add a hyphen and your
address (with '=' instead of '@') after the command word:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I sent a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it
worked great.
For another list, I sent a message to the list owner explaining the
situation and asking for their help. That worked, too.
Good luck.
Regards,
Gary
