It was a one-time batch import because the list was being moved from one
piece of list management software to another.  Mailman is a
best-of-breed mailing list server, but that doesn't help when the
administrator overrides the confirmation requirement when importing.
I'm not sure the responsible parties are even subscribed to the list.
For the record, complaints should be sent to
<freetds-admin AT lists.ibiblio.org>, as per the message headers.
