Err, "unsubscribed sender address"? Perhaps I misunderstood the earlier
poster's intention; I thought he just meant the auto-response to
non-members should include more/better instructions on how to subscribe
and a request not to resend, not a way of posting without membership.

I may still be being very dense, of course :-)
