Bug Description

I received a report from someone who had unsudded from the list, yet,
still received a "reminder".

I checked the membership list, and sure enough, he was not on the list.

I am not sure, but MM2.0b6 may be sending reminders to those who are marked
deleted from the db, but have not been overwritten.

I am using MM2.0b6

Question: in the reminder message, was the list they unsubscribed from
actually in the list-of-lists in the body of the reminder message? Ignore
for the moment which list is sending the reminder message.

Mailman has a bogosity where it uses the first advertised list as the one
all password reminders appear to be sent from. So if your user is
subscribed to other lists on your host, he could get a reminder that looks
like it comes from a list he's not subscribed to. The key thing is to look
at the list of lists in the body of the reminder (i.e. urls and passwords).
 Is the list he unsubbed from in there?

I can't see how he could be, so I'm closing this bug.

This is not fixable for 2.0.
