Hi,
Basically, what I imagined from DRH's original proposal was that accounts that
have not sent out mails after some period of time would receive an email
informing them that they will be unsubscribed unless they send a mail to the
mailing list, or they reply to this notification email, within some (short)
period of time.
I have qualms about asking people to click on a link, since it may look like a
bogus email in which the link will take them elsewhere. You know, like one of
those "your account has expired, click on this link to renew" spam emails.
I wouldn't want a lot of "I want to stay on the list" mail spamming the list.
You could sign up an autoresponder email account (like paypal) and it would stay
signed up forever. It would always respond to the query email with a
reply including
the original text of the message. You'd need to set it up so they had
to reply to a
different email account than the one to send the query mail.
