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.
