In order to unsubscribe a user by email without confirmation the users
list password must be in the command as in

  unsubscribe password address=user at example.com

This command could be the first line of the body rather than the
Subject: header, but it must include the user's list password to avoid
confirmation. Otherwise, anyone could unsubscribe someone else without
their knowledge.

You can avoid confirmation by setting the list's Privacy options... ->
Subscription rules -> unsubscribe_policy to Yes, but then an admin or
moderator would need to approve the unsubscribe before it will be
effective.
