This sounds like a good interim solution. The only problem I see is that you are still dealing with people that don't understand headers and such so you'll have to either:

a) explain how to find their subscription address out using headers b) have them forward you the message

The latter one is *definitely* the least time consuming for a list admin!

Thanks to everyone for the good responses...I guess my last question/comment is:

Anyone planning on working on VERPing capabilities (woohoo - using a term I just learned!)? I would love to do this, but realize that my time limitations over the next month or so are quite tight so I probably won't get to it - I could definitely help out if someone else was leading the effort, however.

If not, I'll still look into it - just don't expect to see anything soon!

Thanks again,

I would like to include a line that says: You are subscribed as: fife@AnwyhereYouGo.com

Ugh.

If you use exim (and what sane person wouldn't [*]), then you could modify your list handling so that a dedicated transport is used for outgoing list SMTP. This transport could have the maximum recipients set to one, and add a header to each message - say seomthing like X-List-Subscription-Address: fife@AnwyhereYouGo.com
