Can I make it easier for you? :)
Write up an extra removal confirmation section, be it in this CGI or
another, that takes the passcode.
Workflow like this:
WWW
|
+-- Subscribe --> add to list
|
+-- Unsubscribe --> send passcode via email, remember it in DB,
| redirect to 'enter your confirmation passcode' page
|
+-- Confirmation page (passcode okay?) --> remove from list
That way you don't have to fiddle around with email gateways, etc., and the
user can stay on the confirmation page while they wait for the email. Done
it myself, and seen it all over the place with web-based subscription forms
too.
