It wouldn't be an unsub-confirmation then, it would be a unsub-declination! You'd then need to include a set of instructions for 'I don't want to be unsubscribed' which would need to be followed within 24 hours to ensure a malicious unsubscription wasn't actioned? It seems to me that the current setup is fine. I managed to follow the current instruction a couple of weeks ago and it worked exactly as expected.
