I, too, have been trying to unsubscribe for some time but without success. I thought perhaps I had subscribed through a different, long forgotten email which forwarded to my main email but your suggestion caused me to look at the header and this email is indeed the subscribing email. I have never seen a response message to reply to and complete the process. I would mind so much receiving all these emails as they can be informative but these now also forward to my blackberry and I need to individually delete them.
Thank you for any help you can be.

Did you use the subscribed account with the standard form of the unsubscribe, or the indirect form with the embedded address? The address from which you are posting ([email protected]) is not recognized as being a subscriber, it is being routed through the moderator. Whatever the subscribed address is, that's the one that has to be unsubscribed; you can find that by looking at the header for a message you're getting from the list, and seeing what is in the Return-Path header. For example, the message from Sue came to me with Return-Path: <[email protected]> because my subscribed address is [email protected]. It is most likely that in your case, a different address was actually subscribed but is redirecting its traffic to the [email protected] account, and that subscribed address is what you need to determine before you can unsubscribe. Let's say that's [email protected]. Then you can use the [email protected] account with the indirect form ([email protected]) to submit the request, and then look for the unsubscribe confirmation message, which will go to [email protected] but should be redirected to [email protected]. You can then reply from this account to complete the unsubscribe. If this still "doesn't work" we'll need more information on the specific steps you followed and the results of each step, for example, exactly what the "To" address was for your request, whether you ever saw an unsubscribe confirmation message, and so on.
