I'm subscribed to this list as [EMAIL PROTECTED] I also use Hotmail account [EMAIL PROTECTED] To check if unsubscribe works or not, I've done the following:
Software: Windows 98SE, Internet Explorer 6, Outlook Express 6. 1. Went to http://hawk.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/support/. 2. Entered e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], password 12345678 (no, that's not the password for Hotmail account ;-)). 3. Received e-mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subject "support -- confirmation of subscription -- request 792232" 4. Replied to this message, keeping subject line intact. 5. Received another message from [EMAIL PROTECTED], with subject being "Welcome to the "support" mailing list". 6. Posted test message from this account to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7. Received this message on both [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] 8. Went to http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support, entered [EMAIL PROTECTED], entered 12345678 in "Unsubscribing from support - Passord" field, pressed "Unsubscribe" button. 9. Got "support Unsubscribe Results - You have been unsubscribed" confirmation in browser. 10. Posted another test message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11. Received this message on primary account, but not on Hotmail account. Hope I hadn't missed anything important. So, my conclusion is that unsubscribe function _does_ work, at least for some list members. What I would've done is try to use different browser/e-mail client. If this won't work, I'd try to subscribe/unsubscribe from the same machine/software, but use a different e-mail address. If this will work, then it is definitely a glitch in the mailing list software. This does happen, unfortunately. Since you got no response from list admins, just configure your client to ignore messages from this list - it's not _that_ difficult, and the traffic on the list is quite small. BTW, this list is open to non-subscribers, so no wonder everyone can send messages to it. AFAIU, this was a deliberate (though questionable) decision on the part of the developers. With best regards, Victor Denisov, aka Larder Larder. _______________________________________________ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
