If the mailing list software tells you that you are not subscribed, then
you are not. Most likely somebody used a free mail service account to
subscribe to the list and then setup mail forwarding to point to you.

So check the headers of the mails you are receiving from the list to see
to which address the listserver is delivering the mail.  Then forward this
information to both the postmaster of that server and the listmaster, so
that both can take appropriate action.
