If you are referring to this address --
<kevin_lipscomb@ccmail.nctamslant.navy.mil>
you are not subscribed at rutgers. Perhaps you are getting hit by a
downstream exploder, I don't know -- the message headers might be
revealing. There is nobody named Kevin subscribed from anywhere at
navy.mil at all.
Now, how did I know you are not subscribed? Because majordomo will
gladly yield the list of subscribers to you if you so request. Email
majordomo@ns2.rutgers.edu with "who www-security" in the message body.

The proper channel for *real* problems is, as with most lists,
the list owner: owner-www-security@ns2.rutgers.edu. However, fairly
extensive private email exchanges with various parties over the last
couple days makes it clear that these are usually entirely user error,
as they appear. 2700 subscribers, too many nontechnical.
I was easily able to unsubscribe one account and subscribe another.
