Uh oh....
Here are the instructions from the ListServ user's guide. It doesn't seem
ListServ is up to 1980's standards regarding support for only one email
address! It seems like you have to notify the owner of the list to beg off.
That's so ridiculous, it can't be the *only* way.
**** User Guide Excerpt *****
Help! I Can't Get Off This List:
Two common mistakes when leaving a list are:
1. Sending the command to the list address, or to the listname-REQUEST
address, instead of LISTSERV.
2. Using an address to sign off that you did not use to subscribe. In this
case you should review the list to make sure the address you are using is
the same one you used to join. If they are different, or anytime your
address changes, please notify the List Owner who can delete your former
address from the list. The most common reasons for why your subscription may
be for an address other than the one in your From: line are:
a) You changed Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and forwarded mail from the
old address to the new address
b) Your ISP changed its network name and didn't bother to tell you
(unfortunately very common)
3. You are using a different mail program now and it doesn't have your
address entered correctly (for instance, you used to use Pine from your
shell account and the return address was [EMAIL PROTECTED], but now
you're using Eudora or Pegasus and your return address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Both addresses point to the same mailbox, but LISTSERV has no way to know
that.)
4. Note that you might be subscribed to a redistribution list, that is, a
mailing list that is itself subscribed to the main list and simply forwards
the mail on to you. This is particularly common in many corporate
environments that don't want individuals to receive mail directly from
mailing lists, but instead set up so-called "mail reflectors" so that only
one piece of mail is actually received from the network for x number of
users. If this is the case, you need to contact the administrator of the
redistribution list in order to get you off of it, because all your list
owner can do is remove the entire redistribution list -- a non-optimal
solution.
