My guess is these notices are being generated by the cron/disabled process which by default runs daily at 9:00 am. Normally, this process detects members whose delivery has been disabled by bounce and sends them the periodic reminder or ultimately unsubscribes them after enough notices have been sent. It seems that something is wrong here such that the unsubscribe notice to the admin is sent without the member actually being removed. There is a bug not fixed until 2.1.10. If a member's email address local_part was all lower case, but the domain was mixed/upper case (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]), the member would be added with the key in member data not being all lower case. This could cause all sorts of problems including (I think) not actually removing the member when the member should be removed. I think that might be what's happening here. Do the addresses reported as being unsubscribed have all lower case local_part and mixed or upper case domain? Does bin/list_members without the -p option report members with upper case in the domain? If so, I think that's the issue. The problem is that it will be tricky to fix. If you can confirm that this is the case, I can work up a script that will fix it. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
