Issues with NANOG mailing list operations and subscriptions

[Sean Donelan <sean () donelan com>]

Some people think its funny to ghost subscribe email addresses, and 
the NANOG mailing list auomation doesn't catch them in the verification 
process.

Most of the time, if you send a note to the mailing list admins, they will 
quickly unsubscribe the address.  Although sometimes the problem email is 
obfuscated, and it takes them a while to eliminate it.

Also, auto-responders should NEVER respond to bulk mailing list messages.
