Maybe some admin could unsubscribe this annoying guy?

The real question is how are these guys getting subscribed? It appears that someone has figured out a way to subscribe random addresses to the list without validation.


I'm guessing that it works because someone spoofs a subscribe request, and ezmlm responds to the spoofed address with the confirmation. These autoresponders which include the whole message reply, and voila, they have been subscribed to the list.

Need to figure out who is doing this crap and tell people that their crappy autoresponders suck. It could be related to the virus going around, I suspect that the scenario goes like this:

* Infected machine sends spoofed email address from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to dumb autoresponder
* Auto responder sends message back to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which is a subscription request)
* EZMLM sees subscription request, sends out confirmation to spoofed email.
* Autoresponder at spoofed email address confirms subscription
* tomcat-user subscribers suffer from all the new spoofed emails.


So the process to unsubscribe these buffoons should be obvious now, I'll see if it works.
