Are you going to use the same key for unsubscribing to different topics?
I really don't know what the "right" approach here is.

You can use the key you get in the email for a topic or forum to:
- Unsubscribe from that topic/forum
- Unsubscribe from all topics/forums
- Cease all board communications
Re: [RFC] Unsubscribe without logging in
Here are some suggestions:
- Why not simply create a key upon account creation.
A link would be something like this: http://www.example.com/unsubscribe.php?u=1234&key=xA6g8jk
Use the characters [a-z, A-Z, 0-9], not 16 (hex) - That will save a nice amount of space on the DB. - Recently, I see in my email that email lists have a special header:
List-Unsubscribe: <unsubscribe link>, perhaps that should be added to.
