'Tis true, you'l need postmaster privileges,  but you'l also need NAS privs as
well.  This is true  especially if some of your local  users are subscribed to
lists  on other  hosts.   Those  hosts will  recognize  only  their own  local
postmaster,  which is  why you  need  to send  the  unsub request  from a  NAD
authorised account.
