Recently, someone subscribed each of the SVLUG mailing lists to a
Sympa-software mailing list at a large mailing list site -- a rather
bizarre thing to even attempt to do.  I deferred action while wondering
WTF someone was doing, then predictably the next time I posted to
svlug@lists.svlug.org received an offlist notice that my 'posting' to
the _other_ remote mailing list was being held for approval (because I
wasn't subscribed to the remote Sympa list, only 'svlug@lists.svlug.org'.

This clearly was not a tolerable situation, so I removed all of those
subscriptions.

My guess is either mischief or some bizarre variety of user mishap.
