Is there a list-administrator also listening in ?
I have tried to unsubscribe a zillion times now and .... I'm still on
this list. I would appreciate if the ml-admin could help me out here.
thanks

AFAIK, there is no list-admin; just the mail robot. Or if there is one, he
only reads the list when the moon is blue on the 4th Thursday of a week, and I
don't know his phone number (if any).
Let's recap the steps.
1. Send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . The body and Subject can be
anything (even empty) but the From MUST be your email-address-of-record. I
suppose the latter is [EMAIL PROTECTED] but you should be able to check
it by looking at the source of any list post you got (using Ctrl-U in
Thunderbird) and checking the topmost Received line (including the indented
lines that are logically part of it) for a string like "for
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>".
-- Warning: you will probably receive the present email twice: once directly
and once via the list. The "list post" is the one whose Received-lines (not
necessarily the topmost one) mention "foobar.math.fu-berlin.de".
2. That email (sent at step 1) will trigger an autoreply. You MUST receive and
read that autoreply, not delete it unread: IT IS NOT SPAM. The autoreply will
tell you how to complete the unsubscription process, and it will include a
secret code to make sure that the email at (1) wasn't sent by someone else to
unsubscribe you against your will. (Spoofing from-lines is very easy.)
3. After you do whatever the autoreply tells you, the list mail should soon
stop.
Best regards,
Tony.
