I have difficulty sympathizing with this problem. CONFIRM is a handy way of purging no longer valid addresses (especially those set to NOMAIL that an owner may not otherwise notice) from a subscriber list. It's not an incentive for indolence. Subscribers who really don't want to continue receiving have the UNSUB and NOMAIL options available. It might help if you post a short message to your list reminding subscribers that they can leave the list of their own volition although you'll miss them if they do so. /s Murphy A.
