I think the proper users-unsubscribe... address should be written in the 
signature.

Another problem I have lived not too long ago: I wanted to unsubscribe 
from one of the list. The confirmation reply came about 2 hours later... 
except I was sleeping at 1:00 a.m. So I did not reply to the confirm 
message until the day after. So my unsubscribe command was rejected 
because I did not reply in a timely manner.

Welcome improvements would be:
– the same command should be used for the Digest and NoMail versions
– immediate reaction by the server
– unsubscription should happen ASAP, without any need to confirm. The 
worst case scenario would be someone who (is) unsubscribed by error: 
that person would simply need to resubscribe.
