Exactly, the people who now don't send there requests to d-u-request
will now not send them to d-u-UNSUBSCRIBE :) I usually just ignore
them or if I ever get really annoyed I could filter them out in my
.gnus

I do think it's a bit much to expect the list admin to filter out the
occasional illiterate.

  unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Okay everyone, make a procmail rule for this e-mail address.
 He's not going to get unsubscribed this way...

Perhaps it is possible to set up some e-mail address, say 
[EMAIL PROTECTED], so that when someone wants to 
be unsubscribed, just need to click in the link and send the message ?? 
I saw this working in other lists...

Hope this helps...

That's because those instructions often don't work.
