First of all: Jason's posts are stuck in moderation. The sender address
he uses is not the one he subscribed with.

Sidney and I (both list moderators) have been contacting Jason off-list
with detailed instructions how to find the subscribed address and
offering further help.

The list server requires clear and active confirmation of the
subscription request by mail, validating both the address as well as
consent.

He has not been added by a list administrator.

Without the subscribed address, there is absolutely nothing we can do. I
grepped the subscription list and transaction logs for parts of Jason's
name and company. The address in question is entirely different.


Just to give some answers. This issue should further be handled
off-list.

Thanks for your $0.02. I hate being accused of spamming...
