Hello Syafril,
I'll let the rest uncommented as everything is said
("reading" vs. "immediate action") but

That's a point I did not want to write all the time:
Why should the server waste (even a minimum) resources on
RegExp-ing/Filtering/<whatEver> ?
Having a look in nmembers database to verify if sender is allowed to
unsubscribe the address given is enough work to do beneath all that other
thing waiting in queue ... As I'm admin for several server by my own I _know_
what a hog of recourses is, only because _one_ customer wants to have as much
comfort as possible _without_ being in duty to think for 1 cent by it's own.
(And of course there's not enough money left to by him it's own server, he has
to used the shared one, pays 1/10th of costs and wants 9/10th of recourses :-)
I don't see the point why a server should _serve everything_. It should do
what it's best on and a mail server is best in _serving mails_, not
'interpreting them' ... OK, forwarding confirmation mails to a ML-server is
unusual for me too, I also do know the 'reply' or 'click here
<mailto:link_with_correct_subject>' and have seen this more often but it
really ain't _this hard_ to go through the first 5-10 lines of a confirmation
requesting mail from ML-server.
I'll start a sub/unsub process right know to see how _this MLs_ administrative
mails look like but I'm quite sure it ain't hard to understand which button to
press, except maybe a dyslexic person :-)
P.S.: As I'm on the straight way to OT I'll stop or continue on TBTECH/TBOT if
Syafril & Thomas (and of course every other subscriber interested) will follow
:-)
