No, there is nothing untoward about the posts, the person doing it was a
business acquaintance who was away during the new year break, was
unsubscribed at his request and sent a message to the list instead of me to
inform me that he was back. I have tried it myself, if I subscribe and then
unsubscribe one of my work accounts, after being unsubscribed, I can still
send to the list. I have now tried it with four account using four different
service providers. All of them, once unsubscribed can still send to the
list. It would make it difficult if I had occasion to ban someone. They
would no longer receive mail but would still be able to send. Hopefully,
once they stopped receiving they would also stop sending. 

I am wondering if this is unique to my installation of majordomo or general.
