Because that is against our policy for several reasons,
but most importantly experience (10+ years) has shown
us that if a user does not go through the subscription
process on their own they will have troubling figuring
out how to unsubscribe which angers them an eventually
us postmasters have to undo the mess.

When you run a mail server you can decide how to run it
or what versions of which software to use.

You cannot subscribe email address A from email address B,
if that is what you are trying to do.  We will not approve
such requests.

You must subscribe exactly from the account you wish to
add, using an empty email address field in the subscribe
command.

If need be forge your From: email address field.

But if you're going to be this difficult about this facility that is
provided free of charge to you (by telling us what version of which
software to run, how the current configuration is inconvenient to you,
etc.)  you might as well save yourself a lot of pain and false
expectations and just use some external archive to read the i2c list.

You can post here freely as we do not require subscriptions
in order to make list postings, and there is no moderation
so there is no latency involved in such non-member postings.
