Done.

There isn't a problem -- ezmlm goes by envelope sender, not From: address.  If
you have a different envelope sender to the address you subscribed as, you can
either forge a message, or do the sdl-unsubscibe-box=host at surfnetcity.com.au
hack, described in the help message.

If you don't remember what address you subscibed as, the Return-Path: header
may jog your memory.

FYI, I just tested the unsubscribe mechanism, and it worked perfectly.

No - nothing ever goes wrong with systems that I admin :-) (Seriously -- the
only problems I've ever had with my mail hub were either user problems, or me
making a typo while doing a chown -R :-)

Maybe you should put the ezmlm help message on your web site somewhere. (I have a cool little text to html parser :-)

Don't trust anything I say, just give it consideration.
