  This assume that he knows who put him on the list!

  About a year ago I started being deluged with info-unix (the email form
of comp.unix.questions).  I still have no idea who put me on the list.
However by carefully scrutinizing the 'Received:' headers, I was able to
make an intelligent guess as to the host from which my copy was being
redistributed.  I wrote to the postmaster at that site.  Never got a reply,
but the deluge stopped.
