That's not a bad idea... (Of course, semantically, it amounts to unsubscribing immediately without confirmation for all unsub requests). The idea of requiring a confirmation to the subscribe process is to avoid that some nasty person maliciously subscribes someone to the list so that they start to receive what looks like spam. Also, to avoid that some mail-seeking robot accidentally or idiotically subscribes itself. However, it is not at all clear that the same rules should apply to the *unsubscribe* process. Is there really a threat that some evil genius might program a mail robot to spoof all the lists addresses and unsubscribe everybody? Come to think of it, maybe there is... :-( Rgds, Owen Boyle Disclaimer: Any disclaimer attached to this message may be ignored. > > -- > Nick Kew > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP > Server Project. > See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info. > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > " from the digest: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > This message is for the named person's use only.
