It might actually be a bit more complicated than that. It could be that they are hitting a spam filter when sending to [email protected]. I think it's not a coincidence that all these people are sending mail in HTML. My recommendation to the people who have difficulties to unsubscribe: use plain text, add a subject and some text to the body of the mail. That should be enough to make sure that the mail is not considered as spam. Andreas PS: It's definitely a lack of consideration to say "Automatic unsub not working" without explaining what the actual problem/error is...
