This is the second time I've gotten a request from this address for a
subscription to my list.  It looked very suspicious ('root' is generally to do
with the server) so I sent an email to that address requesting confirmation that
this address wanted to subscribe to my list.
 
        I never received an answer and yet I am getting another request from
him.  I suspect that this may be some sort of prank.  Any ideas?  The request
follows.
