Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but this could be a cunning way to verify
email addresses. Build yourself a seemingly normal Mailman server,
subscribe everyone under the sun, then see who unsubscribes when the
seemingly valid 'monthly reminder' goes out. The spammer would then know
a real human being reads emails sent to those unsubscribed address...

It seems a little odd that there's no archive, and the list owner's
email address is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. The list of subscribers is also
highly suspicious (see
http://server4.hostpoint.ch/mailman/roster/newsletter_blackmusic.ch) -
there's a whole bunch of 'cvs-log-something@' and 'info@' addresses
listed.

Anyone else think this is smells funny?
