I've received three messages in the past hour from mailman at
python.org notifying me of various attempts to receive a password
reminder or to remove me from python-dev. I hope they don't succeed.

Are you asking us to CC you on all messages? I'm sure it could be arranged :>

That's probably because most of your replies contain the full message,
which contains the "Unsubscribe" link, and some stupid bot followed it.

See the one below for my account. Please don't click it!

Or, more likely, someone *else* posted that link in their quoting of
my message. Good hypothesis!
