Barbara, thanks so much for going off-list to get answers. Facts are
key to curing this illness, and gathering facts off-list helps the
list without the pain of additional traffic.
Also, I did not know that unsubscribing could be initiated from a
different address than the subscribed address:
... If you expand the header for one of the messages coming to you
from the list, the subscribed account is named in the Return-Path
header (with an equals sign instead of an at sign -- the indirect
form of the address). Suppose that's [email protected]. Then you can
send a message to [email protected]
from any account. If all goes according to plan, you'll soon get a
confirmation message to which you can respond.
Thanks for that tip. I would have said to look at the "Delivered-To:"
header, but your use of the "Return-Path:" header gives a syntax for
unsubscribing from wherever Ray is. OTOH, I don't get how Ray receives
mail at an address other than the one subscribed.

If not, we can pursue
this off-list.
There's got to be some sort of pass-through mechanism involved. Such
things exist, generally under an ISP's control for temporary use when an
account is moving, but the actual circumstances here need to be pinned
down. By the way, I got that information by looking at the
communications I got when unsubscribing/resubscribing to the list. In
trying to find the specific reference, I just looked at the subscribe
confirmation -- and found the following fascinating information:

Something else for me to play with here!
