No. The confirmation request contains a magic cookie, and it's enough to make sure this is included correctly. The account name does not matter (at least as far as the OOo list manager is concerned).

I have verified to my own satisfaction that this does work, by setting up a dummy email address with mail forwarded to me and going through the relevant motions.

going to a linked URL, or if a reply from an unsubscribed account is sufficient, the issue goes away, and somebody like Chuck could just use the indirect unsubscribe for the problem account. (Assuming the goodbye message isn't filtered, of course.)

Great! So if we get a "please unsubscribe me" from a subscribed account, we could reply with a copy to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and a note to expect the confirmation request. And if it's from an unsubscribed account, we could advise them to look in the message header to identify the subscribed account and use the indirect unsubscribe on that. Right? Sounds like a winner to me.
