Evidently, someone forged a subscription request between the FreeBSD mailing lists and <support@aebc.com>. postmaster@freebsd.org should be able to unsubscribe you. aebc.com autoresponder is software which generates automated replies, and it "SHOULD NOT" (see http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3834.txt section 3.1.8) generate replies when a "Precedence: list", "Precedence: bulk", or "Precedence: junk" header appears, and subsequent RFC's have recommended that autoresponders also pay attention to the "List-Id" and related headers.
