Seems he didn't - someone set up a deliberate relay to spew this list at him

How did this fool get on the list?
Person X subscribed address X' on the list, then set .forward to the victim V, who chose rather nasty ways to "fight back".
Lots of noice, very little data to help remove him. When I asked specific questions directly from V, I got usefull data back to find the address X', though.
How we knew who the V was ? He called (by phone, it seems) Transmeta Hostmaster ("whois kernel.org") to complain and threaten (in good American Way), not believing when he was referred to [email protected], nor ever sending email to ask assistance from [email protected] ... Transmeta Hostmaster sent Cc/Bcc to vger's postmaster, and the V did answer when I asked him a bit of data to help me to hunt the route.
The V did (amazingly enough) try to interact with majordomo, which naturally didn't find V's address in any list...
Folks: If you ever have hard time with VGER's Majordomo, do ask assistance from VGER's Postmaster(s). Majordomo is rather stupid piece of software, we humans (try to) be a bit smarter. Of course FAQ-questions get referral to:
