Re: [SPAM Re: [mlmmj] Cannot remove mail adress

[Christian Gleerup <christian.gleerup@swn.nu>]

  All the files are owned by the user nobody as you correctly guessed,
to be more specific,

The directories are owned by
* nobody : nobody *

most of the files in /var/spool/mlmmj/nyhedsbrev/subscribers.d have 
ownership
* nobody : root *
few of the files have ownership
* nobody : nobody *

all the files have ownership u=rw

So I am not sure this is related to ownership, since I could add and 
delete one adress to /var/spool/mlmmj/nyhedsbrev/subscribers.d/c
while another adress in the same file would move.

I still recieve news letters on that adress that i can't delete, and if 
I try tu unsub without the -s argument, i recieve an email stating that 
I am not subscribed

I tried to add the problematic that i can't delete, and watch the following.
/$ sudo /usr/bin/mlmmj-sub -L /var/spool/mlmmj/nyhedsbrev/ -a 
cromozon@swn.nu
[sudo] password for fjernsynet:
Changing to uid 65534, owner of /var/spool/mlmmj/nyhedsbrev/.
/$ sudo cat /var/spool/mlmmj/nyhedsbrev/subscribers.d/c | grep cromozon
cromozon@swn.nu
cromozon@swn.nu

Note that the mail adress shows up 2 times!
/var/spool/mlmmj/nyhedsbrev/subscribers.d/c thus contains the same mail 
adress two times!

if I unsubcribe, I get down to one again,
Is that supposed to happen?

I actually don't know what MTA the server use, but the file 
/var/spool/mlmmj/nyhedsbrev/control/verp contains  postfix. (I have 
taken over administration of the server, but don't really no much about 
mail)
