This may be as "simple" as queued messages from previous distributions
that are still "in-transit" i.e., the confirmation that someone has been
deleted does NOT have anything to do with processing that is still taking
place "out there" on the Internet.  The UNSUBSCRIBE can't withdrawal the
messages that are still somewhere in the vast world of the LISTSERV
Distribute Backbone, mail exchange queues, host/network down yet still on
the delivery queue.

Or otherwise, there may  be multiple subscriptions for said user, or a
mail forwarding agent/redistribution list.
