 I received three unsubscribe confirmations over night.  I did not
 initiate these. The source IP's resolve to India and Sri Lanka.  Is it
 just me or is this happening to other subscribers?

Not to me, but we're also seeing subscription requests that are
reported as spam by the victims at yahoo.

Sounds familiar.  Please see the thread Automated Subscription Bots Inundating 
List Owners With Subscription Requests if you haven't already.

I get them all the time. More often they originate from email (probably
spam sent to mailman-users-unsubscribe or mailman-users-leave and
spoofing me in the From:). Only web initiated unsubscribes have a
source IP in the confirmation.

Hi,

We are certainly seeing a lot of subscription attempts in the last 2weeks, as 
if mailman lists are being actively targeted.  Some lists have over 400 
subscription attempts outstanding.

:/

 Hi,

 subscription attempts outstanding.

Is there a simple way of seeing which lists still have outstanding
requests?
