I figured it out!!! I bet it is the public list archive being hit by a search engine I noticed in Alan's message that there is an unsubscribe link for him (I munged it in this message)

Yehuda's right Here's one of the log entries:

[Sat Apr 17 19:32:41 2010] dadadev 67 195 114 237 Unsubscription Confirmation Sent for dadadev list justin@skazat com

The IP Address: 67 195 114 237 is where the request is coming from If you do a quick search for that IP:

http://www google com/search?q=67 195 114 237

It's the Yahoo spider

I'll fix that up for everyone Glad it was figured out, though!

The other thing I didn't have enabled was the, "Limit Unsubscription Confirmation Sending" - enabling this should stop this from happening, multiple times

Maybe before messages are put in the archive, they can be parsed to remove the message footer?

I like that idea, too

The unsub link is now changed to not have the subscriber's address

Yeah, the same happened to me when I first subscribed a few weeks back I am fairly certain it is someone else on the list Perhaps since this is seemingly a frequent occurrence, Justin might want to look at the log files, and have a private conversation with whomever is doing it It's inappropriate

Ever since my last message to this list, I have been getting unsubscribe confirmation messages Every so often, I get a message that says click here to confirm you want to unsubscribe I certainly do not want to unsubscribe Is this a bug or is there someone somehow triggering these messages?
