After sending a couple of messages, I got this in response to each:

Huh? I'm still getting mail from the list, I'm still listed on the
Subscriber List page (btw - the text to view the list says "Enter your
address address and password").

Any idea what's wrong?

Yeah, the listserver software is broken. I tried to turn on "restrict
posting to listmembers only". It does not appear to work so I turned it
back off. In the near term, that means we're vulnerable to spam .. I
hope to have time to muck around with the code and make it work, but I
can live with it for now.
