The "terrance" account was designed to silently listen to the mailing

to send email is to (a) confirm its subscription and (b) confirm its
unsubscription.
In which case I'd suggest your coding philosophy is wrong. There is
/zero/ reason to code for such rare events - code which is hardly
testable, and best omitted, leaving [un]subscription to be done
manually. Then it can't possibly go wrong.... a "listener" should be
exactly that, IMO.
All this makes me feel glad I use gmane newsgroup access ;-)
