Apologies in advance for the fact that the only type of security
this post has anything do do with is the security of my sanity.

It does exactly that. If you try to confirm an unsubscribe from an
address
that it not subscribe, then you get the message that was referred to
with
a list of "maybe" matches:

As it says, you can then unsubscribe another address.
Funnily enough it then sends a confirmation request to the address
you asked it to unsubscribe. If that confirmation is received, then
that address will be unsubscribed.

It's really, really simple. It's also really, really amazing how many
people seem to forget how to read when faced with any kind of error

In short, to the original poster & several of the followers-up:
R T F M!!!
