I've noticed that first message and let it through this morning (from 
unsubscribed address).

I've also seen it arrive in my inbox from the list, together with your 
later post from you.

Judging from the emails i find from you in my inbox, most has been 
coming from the non-subscribed address, so i'm not the only one who has 
let them through :)

Just checked you account settings, and there *current*  (00:45 CET) 
settings are  such that you  should be receiving copies on your own 
email address.

I do not fully understand what is happening though, as the email from 
the unsubscribed address should have reached your subscribed email 
address anyway...

Copying this to Techtalk as well, so you can check whether it arrives. 
I've used your non-subscribed email to reach you directly on this one. 
If i had used the subscribed email address, you still would not know 
whether this would arrived correctly or not (mailman will do its best to 
prevent duplicates reaching you).
