[Mailman-Users] I did not submit a request to unsubscribe from mailman-users

[Steven Jones]

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.

:/

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.
