    Oops, sorry about that, nobody said anything about blacklisting. My bad.

    While a simple expunge is VERY annoying for those that have nothing to do
    with it, it is easy to fix for those who are indeed reading the lists (as
    long as they sent a "you're being unsubbed" message...)... so it certianly
    doesn't count as an incompetent response to the problem (it is at most a
    lazy one, but this depends on the details, where the devil is).

    THIS assumes that @uol.com.br users can still resub themselves, of course.
    Otherwise, my previous comment stands.
