Re: failing to unsubscribe



an update:

i am subscribed with addresses that involve the extension character
plus (+) like, e.g. so:

  mass+deb-curiosa@madduck.net

when i sent messages to the unsubscription system with that address,
not even a confirmation would come back. not until i sent a subject
line like this:

  Subject: unsubscribe mass\+deb-curiosa@madduck.net

(note the escaped plus)

since the plus is perfectly valid and widely used on mailing lists,
this is a bug, right?

now i am at least receiving confirmation messages. sending them back
still doesn't do jack. i now invalidated the subscribed users,
sending SMTP 550 bounces back each time. maybe the list
administrators could work toward a properly working list system.
with excellent MLMs like sympa and Mailman, i don't understand how
an organisation like debian can employ a mailing list system that
just doesn't work as expected.
