/IF/ a mailicious mail account has /everything/ forwarded to a target
victim, there is no problem at all for the victim to unsubscribe the
mailicious account from this list, even without any access to that
malicious account. They do need to know the email address of the account.
They just send an unsub email with that malicious address as sender.
Because of the forwarding, they will receive the unsub confirmation
request. They then reply to this.
Job done.
I think that's right but what puzzles me is how to subscribe some else
in the first place. When one subscribes one receives the same sort of
"please confirm" message as one gets when one unsubscribes. So if *you*
tried to subscribe *me*, I'd get the "please confirm" message and just
wouldn't do it. Would someone please explain what I'm missing here?

If you look at the thread, someone created a gmail account with this
person's name. This someone then registered with [email protected] to
get all the e-mails to gmail and then forwarded the e-mails from gmail
to his other address. What confuses me is that you have to agree to
receive e-mail at the non-gmail address, so either it is seomone close
to him or he has been very careless.
I hope that helps
Rob
