I agree I could have been clearer ;-) RIchie explained one meaning.
The one I had in mind is probably what you have in mind there, and
seems more common: _someone_ at a company subscribes to a Mailman list
with a corporate-internal mailing-list address, and then everyone on
that company list gets the Mailman list traffic. Corporate
communication being what it is ;-), often the end users have no idea
why they're getting this stuff, and harangue the Mailman list owner to
get them off.
As it turned out, the OP in this case was getting this list's traffic
via a generic "info at XYZ.com" subscribed address. Since the
conversation wasn't particularly pleasant <wink>, I didn't press to
find out whether the OP subscribed that address themself, or was a
victim of corporate, umm, enthusiasm.
