Can one of the admins please unsubscribe or mute this recipient?
It’s getting silly now. Thanks.<br>

The same thing is happening on the mozilla.general mail list at the
moment although with a company called 'TheFork'. It has also
happened in the past on mozilla.general with a wholesale cut flowers
supplier called Avas Flowers.<br>
<br>
What happens is that the genuine email helpdesks of these genuine
companies somehow get subscribed the respective mail list. It isn't
clear how this subscription happens although it looks like
prank-like foul play (or a low level DoS) by third parties to me.<br>
<br>
Back when this first happened on mozilla.general, I attempted to
engage with the Avas Flowers helpdesk staff but they seemed utterly
confused. I am pretty sure that they had not knowingly subscribed to
mozilla.general. In general, the helpdesk staff of these companies
seem confused as to what to do and don't seem to be able to
unsubscribe themselves. And, at least in the case of Avas Flowers on
mozilla.general, when they were finally unsubscribed they seem to be
unwillingly re-subscribed soon after.<br>
<br>
(N.B. Mozilla.general isn't just accessible as a newsgroup; it's
also accessible as a mail list).<br>
