Technically speaking, someone could subscribe to debian-user as
ponik@toughguy.net, THEN activate forwarding from ponik@toughguy.net to
the real address. Most email services don't confirm that a person
owns the address that they're forwarding to (although some now do). As
to why someone would do it .. I dunno, grudge, sick practical joke,
whatever...
