There's can see a couple of possibilities:

* An email address was previously in use by someone else who subscribed.
  The snowball list can be quiet for long periods, so it's possible such an
  address wouldn't bounce enough emails to be unsubscribed before being
  reallocated.

* Someone's set up mail forwarding for a subscribed address but mistyped the
  address they wanted their mail forwarded to.

At least one person is struggling to identify the address they are
subscribed at, so I've enabled password reminders as a one-off for
this month.  You should have received this email a short time ago,
which contains the URL and password you need to remove yourself, e.g.:

| Passwords for person at example.org:
|
| List                                     Password // URL
| ----                                     --------
| snowball-discuss at lists.tartarus.org      XXXXXXXXXX
| http://lists.tartarus.org/mailman/options/snowball-discuss/person%40example.org

There's an "Unsubscribe" button on the left, 3rd section down.

Cheers,
    Olly
