That's the best theory I have heard so far to explain the facts. The user's in question, who are being unsubscribed without asking to be, are people who like the mailing lists they are on, and would not be flagging emails from the list as spam. Now their ISP might, but they wouldn't. The list owners swear to me that these people are friends who want their emails.
Some further info... I was including a link at the bottom of all emails sent by mailman (in the msg_footer field: "Click this link to unsubscribe: %(user_optionsurl)s?password=%(user_password)s&unsub=1&unsubconfirm=1" I thought perhaps users were accidentally clicking this and unsubscribing themselves, so I have removed the "&unsubconfirm=1" part of the URL so they will have to manually confirm. Maybe this would foil ISPs who are automatically following this link to unsubscribe people. Do ISPs really do this? _____________________ Steve Wehr Tunedin Web Design -----Original Message----- From: Keith Seyffarth [mailto:w...@weif.net] Sent: Saturday, August 19, 2017 10:55 AM To: Steve Wehr Cc: mailman-users@python.org Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Users being unsubscribed without requesting it.

One possibility would be that they are marking these messages as "Junk" or "Spam" and their ESP/ISP, either through a manual or automated process, is following the unsubscribe link in the email to remove them from the list... -- ---- from my mac to yours...
