It's simple. If the unsub request comes from a trusted source, e.g. a logged in user or the list admin through the admin pages, no confirmation message is sent. If the request comes from an untrusted source, e.g. a non-logged in user sitting at the options page login, or via an email request, then a confirmation message is sent. -Barry _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org
