I believe this is partially incorrect.  * Subscribe= Open, Confirm requires
confirmation of subscription requests, but I don't think it requires
confirmation of unsubscription requests.  I'm feeling too lazy to test this
right now, but when you're setting up your mailing list you may wish to do
some testing to make sure that the result is what you want.
