Quoting Richard Pyne (rpyne@kinfolk.org):
I am finding more and more all the time that people are using email addresses that have absolutely NO relationship to their name and most of my administrative requests are of the nature "Hi, I'm John Doe and my new email address is hiphop@webmail.net. Can you please update my address?".
The correct answer to that is:
"No."
Umm, quite. Its their job to handle their subscriptions, not mine. Ahh well. The other problem of course is that such messages are very possibly forgeries, written to throw someone else off a list. I used to CC my replies to all the addresses involved, checked headers for signs of malfeasance, and generally waste a lot of effort. A subtle advantage of my current DIY approach is that the instructions are only useful to someone who is who they claim to be.
