Posting to the list, since everyone now is chiming in. Typically, if one of those posts seems legit, I try to answer directly, and not to list: - because I don't want disturbing the ~3000 subscribers even more than they've already been - because should be the message be spam, its spam score probably falls when there are answers to it I try to explain politely, but in no unmistakable terms that only the subscriber can cancel his/her subscription, and that (s)he just incommodated around 3k people with a request they can't do much about. And I give hints on how to do it, and on how to find those hints in the mails themselves (the set of headers beginning with X-List...). In this case, the OP seems[1] to be subscribed, as the spam status header suggests: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-10.0 required=4.0 tests=GMAIL,LDOSUBSCRIBER, LDO_WHITELIST autolearn=unavailable autolearn_force=no version=3.4.1 (this extracted from *your* posting. Notice the LDOSUBSCRIBER test up there). I generally hope the poster has a chance to learn from this, and don't blow up the thread unnecessarily. There's some risk that the OP gets a bunch of this type of mail, but hey, (s)he has just done something where 3000 other people carry the burden, so this small risk seems balanced to me. In the current case, the OP actually answered (which is more I hoped for), and I hope I could help him getting unsubscribed. Does that make sense? Is there a policy on that? Dunno. Cheers [1] Of course, these are just hints. Mail headers can be spoofed (I don't know how one could get that one past the mailing list software unnoticed, but there ya go) - -- tomás -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlomoHsACgkQBcgs9XrR2kbVPgCfana7lVYXyOmz6UOAW35s0DVs qJAAn2pZLu+QPabi4HqNDzhb3qMYGGRz =wIbZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
