Fwd: Your confirmation is required to leave the Discussion mailing list

2019-05-02 Thread Michael Kesper
Dear all,

it gets ever "funnier". Now I received this confirmation for removal of this 
list.
(I redacted the hash, obviously)
I suspect it gets created if you click on Daniel's unsubscribe link.
The IP address is not mine.

Michael

Mailing list removal confirmation notice for mailing list Discussion

We have received a request from 2001:1620:f08:0:f64d:30ff:fe68:48b4
for the removal of your email address, "mkes...@fsfe.org" from the
discussion@lists.fsfe.org mailing list.  To confirm that you want to
be removed from this mailing list, simply reply to this message,
keeping the Subject: header intact.  Or visit this web page:

https://lists.fsfe.org/mailman/confirm/discussion/88f8...a35


Or include the following line -- and only the following line -- in a
message to discussion-requ...@lists.fsfe.org:

disregard this message.  If you think you are being maliciously
removed from the list, or have any other questions, send them to

Same here.

I guess he did a mass unsubscription attempt.

Neat.
Too bad all his neurons are being spent in this unconstructive way.

Hopefully it can get resolved,  while the fsfe didn't pass on this info
in some cases the senders e-mail is within one of the e-mail header
fields, (sorry don't know the terminology) sufficient to say if I just
hit reply as opposed to reply list i reply to a single person.

However this feature _is_ useful, if someone posted something like a
request and then someone said send me a e-mail off list to discuss
further then we are able to do this easily,

I am not blaming the fsfe here.

I think we need to examine the law (GDPR) here if someone request
removal this should be a painless process,  as some times this is done
to simply change e-mail addresses.   It appears with the .eu it is
totally the opposite and we have enough 'victims' to take action.

It may be worth looking at the subscriber list here as looking at some
of the from, to, cc, reply to headers I am getting on Thunderbird
e-mails seem to be going all over the place.

Keep up the good work with the fsfe, it would be great to be able to get
back on track with our work, rather than having to deal with this sort
of thing.
