some people don't pay too much attention. I've been getting
officious, snotty cease and desist letters from various agencies for
years, on requested subscriptions. Coast Guard bases are really
notable for this. Some mid-admin gets a burr up their nose and starts
snooping for "non professional" use of the mail systems, and starts
sending out letters.
My answer: tell your users not to subscribe in the first place. But
evidently some of tehse guys think I'm a mindreader, and know which
sites don't allow this kinda stuff....
But I don't worry about it. but it IS, I think, another argument FOR
mail-back validation, because you have a nice proof that it wasn't
unsolicited or forged.
