This would have to have come from an automated process, so I am mentioning it here in case it might be some new bot attack that I have not seen before.
That was me. I removed addresses which do not exist anymore according to their mail servers to minimize bounces. I didn't expect you to get notifications as I supressed them to avoid generating more bounced emails.

I occasionally do see new subscriptions that presumably come from unfriendly activity, for example a recent subscription to vm-dev was from americafirst@myloaninsurance.com. I set that one to moderated and nomail, and have not seen any further activity from it. But it's pretty clear that the attack bots know how to subscribe to mailing lists these days, and I don't know what else they might be up to.
FYI, Dave
