(top-posting continued to avoid muddle...) An interesting issue. How would the moderators (or anyone else for that matter) know that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is genuine, and that the request to unsub [EMAIL PROTECTED] isn't a service denial attempt on someone else?
I can't help wondering whether this is a troll anyway - he has been advised already of a way to unsubscribe even without access to the gmail account; if he'd tried that and it didn't work, I'd have thought (hoped, anyway) he'd be saying as much.
