Hey,
This isn't 100% true. In most cases, the bounce-handler
will figure out what address you subscribed with. Each message
being sent out by the list software has a unique Return-path, which
looks something like this:
<bounce-debian-user=pasc=debian.org@lists.debian.org>
If your mail server behaves correctly (99% of cases), it will
respect this header, even when mail is being relayed, and bounces
will work correctly, and get you unsubscribed.
Cheers,
Pasc
