Raquel, Thanks for the response. You say that 2.1.2 provides what I am asking for but in the privacy options I only find the option for having a confirmation message sent for "subscribing" but not for "unsubscribing" members. Perhaps you can enlighten me where you find the option to verify that an unsubscribe request actually came from the member itself (confirmation)?
thanks, Nils

With MM 2.1.2 all unsubscribes not done by the list admin are confirmed, as follows:
1. email unsubscribe with password supplied: no further action required.
2. email unsubscribe without password supplied: confirmation email sent out requiring reply or web interface confirmation via emailed URL, UNLESS Privacy->"Is the list moderator's approval required for unsubscription requests?" option set for the list. In this latter case only list moderator approval is necessary.
3. web interface unsubscribe with password supplied: no further action required
4. web interface unsubscribe without password supplied: confirmation email sent out requiring reply or web interface confirmation via emailed URL, UNLESS Privacy->"Is the list moderator's approval required for unsubscription requests?" option set for the list. In this latter case only list moderator approval is necessary.
What else in the way of confirmation of an unsubscribe are you looking for?

To unsubscribe without a password, the user can just email to <listname>-unsubscribe and then respond to the confirmation message emailed back to them. No need to have or remember their password.
People can always get a password reminder emailed to them via the link on the list's listinfo page or unsubscribe without a password via the link on the list's listinfo page.

Version 2.1.2 provides what you're asking.
