Exactly. The password in the email unsubscribe command is the user's
list password, not the list admin password.

If you want to unsubscribe a user without confirmation and with
authentication via the list admin password, you have to use the web
interface. See the FAQs at <http://wiki.list.org/x/Z4A9> and
<http://wiki.list.org/x/uIA9>.
