The same thing is happening on the mozilla.general mail list at the moment although with a company called 'TheFork'. It has also happened in the past on mozilla.general with a wholesale cut flowers supplier called Avas Flowers. What happens is that the genuine email helpdesks of these genuine companies somehow get subscribed the respective mail list. It isn't clear how this subscription happens although it looks like prank-like foul play (or a low level DoS) by third parties to me. Back when this first happened on mozilla.general, I attempted to engage with the Avas Flowers helpdesk staff but they seemed utterly confused. I am pretty sure that they had not knowingly subscribed to mozilla.general. In general, the helpdesk staff of these companies seem confused as to what to do and don't seem to be able to unsubscribe themselves. And, at least in the case of Avas Flowers on mozilla.general, when they were finally unsubscribed they seem to be unwillingly re-subscribed soon after. (N.B. Mozilla.general isn't just accessible as a newsgroup; it's also accessible as a mail list). -- Mark Rousell
