Is it possible to unsubscribe from the debian-users list?
I have been trying every other day to unsubscribe from the debian-users
list for two weeks and have become fairly sure it can't be done or it's a
test, to see if I qualify to use Debian Linux; apparently I don't,
because I'm failing miserably!
Please help me unsubscribe; I have sent many unsubscribe
request, along with a couple of request to listmaster. I plan on
resubscribing but using a different e-mail address. Following are only a
few of the confirmation #s that I replied to.
CONFIRM u05011705145397
CONFIRM u04292056442412
CONFIRM s042121171121518

Thank you;

General info
------------
Subcription/unsubscription/info requests should always be sent to
the -request address of a mailinglist.
Did that.
If a mailinglist for example is called
"thelist@lists.debian.org", then
the -request address can be inferred from this to be:
"thelist-request@lists.debian.org".
Did that.
To unsubscribe from a mailinglist, simply send a message with the word
(you
guessed it :-) "unsubscribe" in the Subject: field to the
-request address of
that list.
Did that.
In the event of an address change, it would probably be the wisest to
first
send an unsubscribe for the old address (this can be done from the
new
address), and then a new subscribe to the new address (the order is
important).
Trying to do that.
Most (un)subscription requests are processed automatically without
human
intervention.
It's not working
Do not send multiple (un)subscription or info requests in one mail. Only
one
will be processed per mail.
I'm not doing that.
NOTE: The -request server usually does quite a good job in
discriminating
between (un)subscribe requests and messages intended for the
maintainer.
If you'd like to make sure a human reads your message, make it look
like a reply (i.e. the first word in the Subject: field should be
"Re:",
without the quotes of course); the -request server does not react
to
replies.
Did that.
The listmaster
--------------
To reach a human being answering your mail you may contact the
address
listmaster@lists.debian.org. We will process your request as soon
as
we can.
This is the fourth try.
Mail sent to this address is pre-parsed and a little mail robot
will answer you. The following commands are implemented. They need
to occur in the subject line.
help send this help
lists send the list of known lists on this server
The little mail robot is sleeping on the job! :)
