Sorry about the delay in responding to this! =O.o=  (Over two months is
a record...)

In cases where you have actually lost access to an email account,
the bounce handler will ultimately take care of it.  It's not the
preferred method to unsubscribe, quite frankly, but, well, there are
sometimes you just can't help it.  Best practice still remains to
subscribe at the new address, and unsub from the old address so you
don't miss anything that might be posted between hither and yon. =^^=
