The problem with you all is that you fail to realize the true potential 
of torturing someone over the internet.

Here's how you do it.

Anyone sending a message with the word "test" in the subject 
automatically downloads certain works of anime fanfiction to their email 
address...several times over.  Give plenty of warning in the FAQ, and 
make it plain that that will be the result of any test message, so that 
there is no room for the offending tester to complain.

Why not "You have been un-subscribed due to un-neccessary sending of 'TEST'
messages", along with the paragraph from the FAQ appropriate to such a
transgression.

White Wolf:  When fanfic.com and mail.idt.net were having spats, I would get
a message from fanfic.com telling me that I had been un-subscribed.  Does
that always happen?  Perhaps a bit in the FAQ like "If it doesn't TELL you
that you have been un-subscribed, you probably haven't been"...
