That's why we at outblaze require that forwarding changes be confirmed for
all domains we run (mail.com, iname.com etc).  Too many varieties of
subscription bombing possible, without that.

This has been since the past three years (I know, because I was mailbombed
precisely this way by an idiot some three years ago)

Far easier to create a dummy egroups list with no members and subscribe it to
lih and lig.  Mutt-users and several other lists are mirrored that way.
