I'm having a similar problem with WebTV.  I had six subscribers there when
they decided to accuse the list's host of running an open relay, and I asked
the six if they had other addresses.  Two gave me webmail addresses; one
unsubbed; three did not respond.  Of the remaining three, I had to drop two
as unreachable, yet the third one's copies of list mail do not bounce.  I'd
guess that that person's WebTV mail is located on a server that either ac-
cepts the list or drops it silently.
