Yeah.  I am using Netscape 4.7 as my mail client
under Windows, and am following this procedure:

Normal mail, I am using the Cox servers and
my identity is as shown above.

Checking on my @Home mail (basically all spam now),
I just change the server names to "mail".

If I have to unsubscribe from a list, then I have
to change my Mail&Newsgroups > Identity to
vodhner@home.com when sending that message, else
the subscription maintenance sometimes does not
work right.  The @Home smtp server has no way to
know who I am except through this Identity.

I went around a few times with the unsubscribe thing
until I finally learned this.
