LSTOWN-L readers,
Thanks to Michael Shannon, who replied informatively, "If the list header has Notify=No then the Owner is not notified of unsubscribes."
Ah yes, but the subscriber first has to get the list header set to Notify=No. And since the subscriber is unlikely to have editing privileges,
that would require asking the list owner to make the adjustment. An activity hardly compatible with sneaking out unnoticed!

Subject: RE: list owners not advised that a subscription has been terminated
LSTOWN-L readers,
Thanks to Pete Weiss for testing this out with:
QUIET is ignored and the command is processed as a normal UNSUB.
So, a subscriber cannot "sneak out" of a list without the listowner knowing! A list owner, on the other hand, can remove a subscriber without them knowing. Interesting! - Ian
Sincerely - Ian
