The old message was arguably vague. It now reads

Your message has not been sent to the squid-users list because you
are not a subscriber.
Due to increased spam, we only accept messages from subscribed
users. If you think you are already subscribed, but you get this
message anyway, then you are probably subscribed under a different
address.
To subscribe, send mail to:
squid-users-request@ircache.net

It has an autounsubscribe feature for bounces. Sometimes it
screws up and unsubscribes the wrong person. I think you
(Henrik) have been victim of that more than once.
The configuration file is kind of ugly.
It has little security. Its probably possible for anyone
to unsubscribe anyone else.
It doesn't always recognize subscribe/unsubscribe
messages sent to the list.
logging is not as nice as I would like. Sometimes
its hard to find causes for problems.
