That paragraph is telling me to talk to "postmaster@wooledge.org" which
is, unfortunately, me.

Another thing I have to learn?! Crap. Well, maybe some day I'll find
the time and energy to think about it.
I still don't understand how a bounce message that was received by
the Debian mail server ("Delivered-To: lists-debian-user@bendel.debian.org")
with a "From postmaster@vps268904.ovh.net" on top of it can cause *me*
to become unsubscribed. The only place my email address is mentioned
is at the top of the body.
Is a message sent from Alice to lists-debian-user@bendel.debian.org with
Bob's address at the top of the body considered a "bounce from Bob"?
That sounds like a huge bug in bendel.debian.org to me.
Either that, or they're not showing me enough context to understand how
this particular message from ovh.net got *me* in trouble.
I guess the only thing I can do *right now* is hope that whoever this
ovh user is, they'll fix their setup and/or *actually* unsubscribe
instead of just thinking they have unsubbed.
