You could subscribe from that address, and then tell the list processor
to postpone sending you anything there, and never cancel the postpone
order. I *think* you could still post from that address. Of course,
the list processor may eventually explode, holding back all that postponed
mail... (Would it actually hold copies of all that, or just drop it?)
