Actually, I think there's a little more to it than that. When I was
trying to find a new ISP, I tried to subscribe to my pobox account and
never got successfully subscribed there. There seems to be some sort
of address bot at the listproc that checks to make sure the
subscription is valid. I checked the subscription requests in my
mailed folder, and all seem to be resends and therefore have a
message-id that doesn't match the subscription request address.
That's the only solution I could come up with, so I'm subscribed at my
Onramp address (the only list I've got coming into this address.)
There may be something else I haven't thought of, though (maybe the
listproc doesn't allow subscriptions at public mail boxes like pobox,
hotmail, etc. who knows?)
