That's because "-subscribe" adresses are dangerous : as soon as this
adress
is published, spammers subscribe to your list and may be authorized to

Easy to patch in alias_manager.pl (but dont forget to patch both alias
creation and alias deletion).

Do we need to introduce a list/robot/conf parameter to choose if the
alias
is needed ?
