Hi, all,

Over the past few days, I've received four reports from recent posters
to this list who have received list unsubscribe messages that they did
not request.

These messages appear to be generated from ISI's mailman system. The
system does not require a login or confirmation to issue the unsubscribe
to any email address - that is a "feature" of mailman, and I am not
aware of a way to configure it otherwise.

If you receive such a request and did not intend to unsubscribe, you can
just ignore it.

Joe (as list admin)
