Thank you for writing to eBay Customer Support. 

Why is ebay customer support subscribed to the list and who is going
to report ebay to spamcop ?

First off, I'm not sure why this post got through.  listbox has
recently undergone some upgrades to new software, so maybe there is a
bug.  I have reset ebay support back to being "post only" (never send
list traffic to them) and "banned from posting" (never accept email
from them).


As to why they get subscribed, I think it goes like this:
worms/phishers send email to the spf-discuss subscribe address with a
forged ebay header.  listbox sends a subscription confirmation back to
ebay support and then ebay support auto-replies with an email quoting
the confirmation cookies.

Actually, I'm not exactly sure what is going on, but ebay support is a
real problem for listbox mailing lists.
