Yes. Some (but not all) will be ignored, falsely assuming they are not
administrative messages (e. g. [email protected] or [email protected]).

Why isn't it used anymore? It has been always very useful to (un)subscribe
from an address which isn't the address from where you are sending the request.
I didn't saw any notice that this feature has been removed and I don't
know why it should be necessary to remove it. Can you shed some light on this?

I think it's much easier to make the small modification in rc.request making
the useful feature work flawlessly than to add extra recipe(s).

Anyway, if it will not be fixed in the official SmartList distribution I will
fix it in the rc.request for the confirm addon because confirm depends on
the "subscribe some address" feature.
