MkLinux listserv sent out a message I thought was a good idea. The message
said something like "Please do not respond to this email message, unless
you want to unsubscribe. " Reply-To field was set to
unsubscribe@mklinux.apple.com. Their intent was to remove the invalid email
address from the list.
May be the list owner can send out a short message like below once or every
other month with Reply-To header set to Majordomo@ns2.rutgers.edu and this
problem will go away (probably not, there are always some people who cannot
read any message. Don't know how they were able to subscribe to the list in
the first place. If you don't believe me, read the first Welcome message
from Majordomo. It always tell people to SAVE the message.)
=============================
unsubscribe www-security

If you wish to unsubscribe this list, please reply to this message"
