Yes, the confirm can be replied to, but since the forwarded to address
is _not_ the subscribed address, any "confirm unsubscribe" response gets
ignored because that *has* to come from the subscribed address.
Normally, that's fine as it stops people being unsubbed against their
will. However, in a case such as this, where Chuck is receiving
forwarded mail, he can't unsubscribe. OTOH, given the puerile nature he
showed in trying to get off the list, I'm not surprised he's pee'd off
somebody equally puerile enough to set him up like that.
Sometimes, I think the worst thing that happened to computers was make
them affordable. :-(
