Double opt-out? ()

by fluffy at 3:54 PM
An email message has been sent to the following address:
(redacted)
to confirm that address's removal from the following list:
Freeverse Mailing List
Upon receiving this message, you will need to follow a confirmation URL, located in the message itself.

This confirmation process, known as double opt-out confirmation, has been put into place to protect the privacy of the owner of this email address.

If you do not receive a confirmation for removal in the next twenty-four hours or you have any other questions regarding this mailing list, please contact the list owner at: montymail@freeverse.com

That's a new one. Especially funny since it's not like I opted in to this list to begin with. (I guess I got signed up because I participated in MacHeist last year. All of the sudden, a lot of MacHeist participants have started spamming me over the last week. Meh.)

And of course, after clicking the opt-out email's link I got yet another email from them thanking me for confirming my removal. Something tells me I'm going to continue to get emails from these jokers.

This is where you start complaining to their host...
