Even in the "wrong address" case, the reply that you get tells you what's
wrong and how to fix it. Of course, even here nobody reads the
documentation ... :-).
I tried to remove the original complainer, but there's no current
subscription under the email address he sent this message from. That
means either someone beat me to it, or he's getting messages forwarded to
him from somebody else.

for either of us.
