Greetings,
I also have gotten multiple messages from Steven, but now multiple
messages have appeared from other users as well.
Two copies of Character color in WP documents from John Jason Jordon.
These show different times 1:50 PM and 2:03 PM on August 30.
Then at 5:10 PM seven copies from Harold Fuchs with subject: Open Office
query.
Then 5:28 PM five messages from John Gregson with subject: Base column
Width.
Next at 5:42 PM five messages from Harold Fuchs with subject: Not
possible to unsubscribe me.
Followed by three copies from Barbara Duprey with the subject: users
Digest 29... all delivered at 5:54 PM.
Also at 5:54 PM from Brian Barker three copies of Base import from Works.
Has anyone else seen this? Perhaps more than just the actions of one
person, maybe a brief glitch.

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...
