Re: Still cannot get off list
you're not alone, I have the same problem, the address I try to
unsubscribe is on the list of approximate matches but it still says it
cannot find it. This happens when I try to unsubscribe from debian-devel
and debian-user. I was able to unsubscribe from *changes* lists about a
week ago.
I have emailed listmaster but got no response yet (I emailed yesterday
so it might be too soon to panic)
