Yes, this seems to be a common problem. Apparently it's possibly for
pranksters to subscribe third parties to this list without their knowledge or
consent, nor does the listserv software verify that the subscriber address is
the same one that requested the subscription. The list owner really should do
something about this.

That should do it. If not, you need to have the list owner "Holtej"
unsubscribe you manually. I don't know his address offhand, but you can
attract his attention with his name in the Subject line. Be patient, as he
doesn't read this list on a daily basis normally, and there may be a longer
delay if he's on holiday vacation.
