I hate when people keep posting stupid stuff on a list. I am on numerous lists
like everyone else. When you get these newbies that ask the stupidest things you
have to grin and bear it. But when they keep beating a dead horse, you want to
beat the term FAQ and HOWTO into there vocabulary. Well now I feel like I need
the beating. All I want to do is get off this list. I got on when I was thinking
of using qmail on one of our servers, but I didn't use it. So I get tons of
things I don't need. I have tried just about everything. If somebody can't
figure out this problem, I'll have to write a script that filters this stuff
out. the following is an email I sent to another person that best describes the
problem. Basically the return-path address in the header is the same as what I
try to unsubscribe as, but it just says not in the list. PLEASE help me figure
this out so I can stop wasting everyone's time.
Here goes:
If you can figure this one out for me, I am in your debt. I hate pasting in all
this stuff, but I don't have a choice at this point. I have done the usual
unsubscribe with no effect. Yes it tells me I am not in the list. So I searched
the
return path as you and about ten others have mentioned, including the ezmlm
itself. It gives me the same name that I tried unsubscribing with. As with
every
other admin in the world, I have a lot of email addresses. I have tried them
all.
Here is a list of the email addresses I have tried to unsubscribe as:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (An old email I inherited from previous admin's web design)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (this is an internal email id set by emwac)
and the 1st 3 again with @mole.paginc.com
It never gives me an error about my unsubscription, so I no they are not
malformed.
This branch of the company is using EMWAC email on an NT server w/ Norton
antivirus
email gateway. I don't think any of this matters but I figured I'd give you the
whole scoop. So here's what it gives me:

Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.
To confirm that you would like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
removed from this mailing list, please send an empty reply to this address:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Your mailer should have a Reply feature that uses this address automatically.
I haven't checked whether your address is currently on the mailing list.
To see what address you used to subscribe, look at the messages you are
receiving from the mailing list. Each message has your address hidden
inside its return path; for example, [EMAIL PROTECTED] receives messages
with return path ...-God=heaven.af.mil.
See http://pobox.com/~djb/qmail.html for more information about qmail.
Please read http://pobox.com/~djb/qmail/faq.html before sending your
question to the qmail mailing list.
--- Here are the ezmlm command addresses.
I can handle administrative requests automatically.
Just send an empty note to any of these addresses:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Receive future messages sent to the mailing list.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Stop receiving messages.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Retrieve a copy of message 12345 from the archive.
DO NOT SEND ADMINISTRATIVE REQUESTS TO THE MAILING LIST!
If you do, I won't see them, and subscribers will yell at you.
To specify [EMAIL PROTECTED] as your subscription address, send mail
to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
I'll send a confirmation message to that address; when you receive that
message, simply reply to it to complete your subscription.
--- Below this line is a copy of the request I received.
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
