Anyone can request unsubscription for anyone else via the user options login page or via a spoofed From: in an email to list-leave or list-unsubscribe or an unsubscribe command to list-request. One can also request unsubscribe for another via a "unsubscribe address=xxx" command to list-request. Most of these pretty much have to be intentional, but if you have a personalized list with a footer similar to the Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/user%40example.com footer added to messages from this list, it is possible that your list member forwarded a list message containing that link to someone else, and the recipient followed the link and clicked "Unsubscribe" thinking she was unsubscribing herself from a list. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
