[Mailman-Users] FW: Your confirmation is required to leave the Mailman-Users mailing list

[Peter Shute]

This is the second time I've received one of these. I'm told the only way one of these could be generated is if there's a URL published out there that does this when a bot crawls it, or if someone deliberately tried to unsubscribe me.

Given that I've only had two in five months, I assume it must be the latter.

It doesn't matter, but I'm curious about what would motivate someone to do that. Did anyone else get one recently? I've never had one for any other lists I'm on.
