>> I might suggest that the correct way to do this would be to have that as
an option for specific cases (like a notification list) but to allow the
password requirement in order to prevent third parties from unsubscribing
users as a DoS attack.... anybody can fake a from address. <<
_M - at first I thought the same - but then I realized that this would be
inconsistent. At present, anyone can send a message to IMailSrv@... with
the UNSUBSCRIBE or SET DIGEST commands WITHOUT requiring passwords or being
on the posters.lst. And I consider that VALID.
So in light of that, it makes NO sense to introduce DIFFERENT set of rules,
when someone tries to unsubscribe via subject line.
