Understood. I brought it up because I've never seen "asia.bigfoot.com", only "bigfoot.com". Thus, if the mailing list thinks he is "@asia.bigfoot.com" but the address he uses is "@bigfoot.com", there would be an issue.

Note that what address he is sending mail from (and/or what address he ultimately receives mail at) doesn't necessarily matter. What matters is what address the mailing list is sending his messages to. And because of aliases, forwarding, change of addresses, etc., that could be different. What he needs to do is determine what that address is. This can be done by looking for a mail header like the following: Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> How he does this depends on what mailer he's using. MS mailers should have an option that allows one to look at the headers. The above is what it looks like for me. It indicates that the mailing list sent the message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (it changes '@'s to '='s). And if I want to unsubscribe from the list, that's the address I have to tell it to unsubscribe. I can do this by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course, I won't say that there aren't problems with the mailing list software beyond the above. But I know it is an issue, and I'd like to have verification that someone has tried dealing with this properly before moving on to other possibilities. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Goking > To: Tomcat Users List > Sent: 1/6/03 8:13 PM > Subject: unsubscribing to this mailing list > > why cant tomcat mailing list manually remove users? ive been trying > to remove myself from the mailing list for four darn months yet it > still cant?!? > > im hoping that som admin here can manually remove me because there > is no other way > > mark Milt Epstein Research Programmer Integration and Software Engineering (ISE) Campus Information Technologies and Educational Services (CITES) University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
