RE: Unsubscribe/Subscribe Confirmation Email Looping?
Count another instance of people being mysteriously unsubscribed I just got a call from my client yesterday saying that a couple of her list members were being unsubscribed against their wishes I hadn't been able to look into it yet, then I received this mail thread I'll try to get more info and see if I can offer any assistance
Thanks, Rick

I haven't had this exact problem, but I have had people tell me they were unsubscribed when they didn't want to be I always assumed that it was due to a forwarded email and the forwardee clicked the unsubscribe link, but I bet it is link prefetching (which I had never heard of until now) I am seriously considering not using the embedded unsubscribe link and instead linking to the unsubscription form, preventing the auto-unsubscribe by just clicking the link I doubt that helps you, but I'm sort of thinking out loud here
Warm regards,

Hello everyone,
I'm getting some troubling reports from various users, who say that they're getting reports from members of their list that unsubscribe from a newsletter, or to be resubscribed, then unsubscribed, etc in a huge loop
Has anyone on this list experience this problem? Got any other idea what may be going on?
It's very strange, since it happens to maybe 1 out of every 10,000 subscribers The link prefetching could be a sign that the user's machine has been comprised with some sort of virus and this is just a weird side effect of some sort of logging system of the virus itself - I dunno I could really use some help to get to the bottom of all this, though,
