Dear all,
you can normally login and unsubscribe. However, I recognise that there
are those in the position described in this email. I have recommended to
the webmaster & sysadmin people to enable a no-login email method of
unsubscribing. I have suggested that sending an unsubscribe message to
the list-manager address (not the list itself; I am amazed that anyone
thinks that will work!) will actually get them unsubscribed and send an
email saying so. In the case of malicious abuse (faked "from" address),
this reply email will alert someone who doesn't want to be unsubscribed.
Alternatively, in response to an unsubscribe email we could make the
list manager send an email asking for confirmation (like yahoogroups)
and responding to that will get you unsubscribed. This way is slightly
more annoying but less open to malicious abuse. What would people
prefer? What is regarded as reasonable configuration on other lists?
