Steven,
I think I am starting to see a pattern here.. This address is sending
three and more copies of the messages to the list.. That sounds like a
good reason to block it from sending to the list.. Back in Fido that
would get your echo mail cut off till you proved the problem was fixed..

Hello Everyone
I must start by saying that I do want to be subscribed to this list. This
message is only about my attempts at unsubscribing one particular address.
Here we go:
I run Fedora Linux on my computer, and I wanted to subscribe to
users@openoffice.org from an alias that is delivered to a real user account. The
alias is "listsopenoffice...@afolkey2.net" and it is delivered to the user account
"steve"
I have just checked my "/etc/aliases" file to make sure that "listsopenofficeorg"
is still delivered to "steve" and I found the following:
lists-openofficeorg: steve
That is backed up by the fact that for the first time in a long time, I actually
saw a message sent from "listsopenoffice...@afolkey2.net" arrive on this list.
users@openoffice.org accepted my subscription request from the
"listsopenoffice...@afolkey2.net" address. For a while (I don't know how long,)
everything worked fine. I received all the email from this list, and I was able
to send messages to the list.
I have continued to receive messages from this list, but at some point my
messages sent from my "listsopenoffice...@afolkey2.net" address ceased arriving on
the list. In other words, I was RECEIVING mail from users@openoffice.org but I
could not SEND mail...
So I signed up for this list under the address st...@afolkey2.net. This has
worked perfectly for sending and receiving.
Then I tried to unsubscribe listsopenoffice...@afolkey2.net. Guess what? I NEVER
received a confirmation to reply to. So, my address was "subscribed" enough to
continue to receive messages from the list, but not "subscribed" enough to get
an email through TO the correct address to get unsubscribed. Not the end of the
world, mind you, but it is annoying.
But tonight I sent a message to users@openoffice.org as as test FROM
listsopenoffice...@afolkey2.net. It ARRIVED! Before I started this message, I
attempted to unsubscribe listsopenoffice...@afolkey2.net again. I'm going to check
right now and see if I got a confirmation yet... Well, nothing yet :(
In closing, despite what some people on the list in question might think, it
does appear to be possible to:
1. Subscribe to the list.
2. Receive mail from the list.
3. But not be able to send mail TO the list.
4. And also not be able to send a unsubscribe request TO users-
unsubscr...@openoffice.org
Hopefully I'll be able to unsubscribe listsopenoffice...@afolkey2.net from this
list real soon, and just have one address subscribed to this list...
