"I subscribed the email address of a mailing list to my Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic. A member of the mailing list then unsubscribed the email address of the mailing list, along with everyone on the list.Short descriptionWhen you publish messages to an Amazon SNS topic with email subscribers, the email message that the subscribers receive has a link to unsubscribe. A message near the link reads: "If you wish to stop receiving notifications from this topic, please click or visit the link below to unsubscribe."When you subscribe to an Amazon SNS topic with your email address, choosing the link unsubscribes your email. When a member of an Amazon SNS topic mailing list chooses the unsubscribe link, the email address of the mailing list is unsubscribed. Then, everyone on the mailing list gets an "Unsubscribe Confirmation" message.Note: Email spam filters can unsubscribe the email address of the mailing list.To prevent the unsubscribe action, create a subscription that requires authentication to unsubscribe. This allows only the topic owner and subscription owner to unsubscribe. All other subscribers who choose the link receive the following error:"Subscription not removedYour subscription could not be removed because of an error. If you wish to unsubscribe but do not have AWS credentials, or have any other questions about Amazon SNS, please contact Amazon at sns-question@amazon.com."ResolutionTo replace an existing subscription with a subscription that requires authentication, delete the existing subscription. Then, use either of the following methods to set up the new subscription.Important: You must have access to the subscription confirmation email message to confirm a new subscription and complete the setup.
