Cause of spurious subscription requests

[Dan Knight]

Wooohooo - we finally got to the bottom of this one!

Somehow the [EMAIL PROTECTED] addresses had become 
subscribed to several of our email lists. I don't know how that could 
have happened, since we require confirmation of all subscriptions, but it 
did.

The result: Every time someone posted to that list, a copy of their email 
went to the subscribe address, and the list server sent out the usual 
reply to a subscription request.

It wasn't a list configuration matter at all, nor was it anything that 
should have been able to happen. Live and learn.

I'm going through the lists one by one to make sure these addresses are 
removed. This should be the end of the matter, but if you do get any 
confirmation emails after this, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
