[Glances up at X-Listprocessor-Version: header..."8.1 beta". Hmmm]
Not exactly. Before version 8.1, if you only specified "subscribe
classiccmp" you would get an error message, and if you said "subscribe
classiccmp joe_at_foo.com" it would subscribe you at the address you sent the
request
from, and assume your real name was joe_at_foo.com. Depending on how the list
is set up, "subscribe classiccmp" will work on version 8.1 and later,
however, I'm pretty sure there still is no way to subscribe using an
address different from the one you are sending the request from.
