The mailing list server logs indicate that you were unsubscribed for excessive bounces twice since the lists moved to debian.novare.net and templinux.bucknell.edu. Smartlist removes addresses if it gets a certain number of bounce messages back. Those bounce messages are usually the result of misconfigured mail servers, faulty network links, etc. If it was having trouble delivering list mail, it stands to reason that it would have trouble delivering the unsubscription message. I've recently increased the threshold for unsubscription on debian-user *only*. With the most traffic of the debian lists, it's also the most likely to suffer bounce removals. I get copies of the 200-500 bounce messages a day, so I'm fairly certain that *in general* the list server isn't making things up. If anyone finds themselves getting unsubscribed regularly, please contact me and I'll dig through the logs for further information.
