I was thinking of the far more common (for me anyway) situation where the
e-mail address continues to be valid, so messages continue to be delivered,
but the person concerned reports them as spam to their ISP rather than
unsubscribing or contacting the list owner.
The first I know of it as the list owner is when I get a report from the ISP
concerned and have to work hard to avoid *my* IP getting on a blocklist.
It's the bane of my life, despite every one of my list messages including
unsubscribing instructions in the footers.
