Improvement proposal for this list:
Add a footer to each message send out by ezmlm, stating at least how to
unsubscribe.
I know that this information is already in the mail headers, but most
people do not read the mail headers, except for those headers displayed
by their mail user agent without further actions (i.e. From, To, Cc,
Subject, Date).
It can't be that hard, a quick search for ezmlm returned
<http://www.ezmlm.org/faq/FAQ-9.html#ss9.1>, which essentially states:
"Put the text in DIR/text/trailer." This file can be copied from
DIR/headeradd, which is already set up properly. Just delete the
"Precedence: bulk" line, maybe replace it with "-----". Or copy and
paste this:
---8<---8<---8<-- SNIP --8<---8<---8<---
List-Post: <mailto:dbi-users@perl.org>
List-Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
List-Subscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
---8<---8<---8<-- SNIP --8<---8<---8<---
Yes, this optimizes for a special case, but I think it will prove to be
helpful.

Send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from your registered email
acccount, or go to the web site dbi.perl.org and unsubscribe from there.

I have been trying to unsubscribe. I followed the directions and
sent an
email but I still keep on getting emails. How can I get off this list?
It would be more helpful if you stated where you sent email - you should
expect a confirmation request. Or send to the help address and get more
information.
