MajorDummy is pretty simple and easy as you pointed out. One thing I've
noticed with lists I've had thru a Majordomo handler is that if they send
HTML mail or Richtext the codes confuse it (since it's intended to be
totally text based) and they don't get the expected result either.

I have seen quite a few posts like this.... I will take care of it manually
myself, but for future reference to others....

If you are going to unsub, you need to do it from the address you subbed
from. Many times people blame majordomo, when in fact it's their own email
forwarding setup. For example... Above adrian says "if the email address
isn't valid then why is he still getting email". He needs to look at his
forwarding setups. Specifically...the problem is that his message comes from
adrian.graham_at_corporatemicrosystems.com but the address he subscribed from
is adrian_at_corporatemicrosystems.com
Obviously this isn't going to let him unsub. Why is he still getting the
email? Hummm ya think maybe that either him, or his company, or his ISP has
an alias that redirects mail addressed to adrian -> adrian.graham?
