Then perhaps a reminder email after 48 hours going back to advise something along the lines of: We've noticed that you'd not responded to the previous unsubscribe email response. If you do not respond to this message within x hours/days your account will be automatically unsubscribed. To prevent this, please follow the link to: <url> and click "I do not wish to unsubscribe" or "To prevent this, please reply <instructions> If you are still having issues with this, please contact: xyz@domain directly. That should give the user ample opportunity to respond. Regarding an "unsubscription war"; the direct contact address should put a stop to that if the moderator/list owner sees that the address is receiving multiple unsubscribe requests. If the messages are tagged as spam by the users ISP filters, then that's certainly the users problem. I do not have any experience with mlmmj so I've no idea if such a response can be automated, or if it is possible. But lacking the ability to modify settings/subscribe/unsubscribe like those in mailman, perhaps something like this might work? Note to Florian: Starting next week I'll install mlmmj on one of my test servers and see if I can gain some knowledge/exerience with it. I'm sure it will be better if someone with _real_ mlmmj experience provides added feedback in this thread, but I'm certainly willing to experiment/try. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
