I did not submit a request to unsubscribe from mailman-users
I received three unsubscribe confirmations over night. I did not initiate these. The source IP's resolve to India and Sri Lanka. Is it just me or is this happening to other subscribers?

Not to me, but we're also seeing subscription requests that are reported as spam by the victims at yahoo.

Sounds familiar. Please see the thread "Automated Subscription Bots Inundating List Owners With Subscription Requests" if you haven't already.

I get them all the time. More often they originate from email (probably spam sent to mailman-users-unsubscribe or mailman-users-leave and spoofing me in the From:). Only web initiated unsubscribes have a source IP in the confirmation.

Hi,
We are certainly seeing a lot of subscription attempts in the last 2weeks, as if mailman lists are being actively targeted. Some lists have over 400 subscription attempts outstanding.

Hi,
We are certainly seeing a lot of subscription attempts in the last 2weeks, as if mailman lists are being actively targeted. Some lists have over 400 subscription attempts outstanding.
Is there a simple way of seeing which lists still have outstanding requests?

That appears at the bottom when you run the Mailman Daily Status Report using the mmdsr script. See <http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030678> .

The mmdsr report only shows and sumarises the held message files in Mailman's data/ directory. It also doesn't do all of them if the list is long.
See <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/list_requests> for a script that lists all the outstanding held message, subscription and unsubscription requests by list and type.
