[Mailman-Users] unsubscribe without confirmation

[Sintz, James]

Thanks!!

I understand the purpose of the confirmation, I just want the ability to turn it off. It is okay if users get unsubscribed from my list because of a spooked request.

E-mail unsub requests require confirmation to prevent spoofed requests
from succeeding. The user can avoid the confirmation by providing
his/her password with the e-mailed unsubscribe command, but this only
works if an unsubscribe command is mailed to the listname-request
address. Mail to the listname-leave or listname-unsubscribe address is
not parsed for commands and is treated as if it just contained a plain
'unsubscribe'.

Send mail with subject 'help' (w/o the quotes) to the listname-request
address for more info on the unsubscribe command.
