Thanks for your understanding and helping me to succeed in unsubscribing from this mailing list though I am not sure at this point of time when would that event is likely to happen.
Yes of course it was the same email. I also don't want to expose my other email ID's to hadoop or similar clones. If only I can get some likelihood data of similar users of this mailing list who after trying to get unsubscribed got unsubscribed at some point of time after repeated mailing to unsubscribe. Once that data is available it should be possible to develop the most probable number of mail I may have to send before getting unsubscribed. Using the likelihood data and applying students 't' distribution and with confidence limits at 99%, 97%, 95% and 90% i should be able to predict, i getting logged off from hadoop unless otherwise the probable value does not become the real one in my case.

This seems to indicate that there might be a bug in the mailing list management configuration. Not sure how that would happen with exmlm, but it seems more plausible. One last question, though, is the email address that you sent the unsubscribe requests from the same as the mailing list sends to? Also, you should only need to reply to the confirmation email. But was the email you got back from the bot a confirmation of unsubscribe email?

Followed by that I mailed to the links that the automatic mail sends in vain. Later I thought of all possible permutations that are possible using the 15 alphabets and once character that is in the email address of user-unsubscribe. While deciding the permutations combinations to ensure that i don't miss any, I even sent to those permutations of email ID's that do not have any literal meaning in English language. In the address the alphabet 'u' repeated 3 times, 'r' repeated 2 times, 's' repeated 3 times 'e' repeated 2 times 'b' repeated 2 times and rest 1 time. So i used the classical method of solving such combinations using the methods given in Higher Algebra by Hall and Knight published first in 1897 to arrive at the all possible permutations using the formula !16/ (!3 !2 !3 !2 !2 ) Then using mail merge i sent email to all the email ID's generated. But no success so far. I also tried some keywords to block mails but that led to more chaos. Fe important email ID's of my boss, wife, etc. were also blocked leading to consequences that have potential to affect me. Hence have decided to live with mails from [email protected] and enjoy!!! till all users of hadoop start blocking my email ID and organizers of hadoop also block me specially io their mailing list.

The merging of mailing lists may have left you subscribed to a different group than you expected. Thus, your assumptions may not match what is required. If you provide a specific list, somebody might be able to help you. Also, I was asking about the *exact* email address listed in the one message before mine, not anything you have typed. Sorry to not trust that your "all permutations and combinations" may not be correct, but any generation of permutations is based on assumptions and you don't state your assumptions. By their nature, we often don't even know our own assumptions so I would ask the same question even if you said what you thought your assumptions are. The reason that I ask this in this slightly abrasive way is that there may have been a bug in the mailing list merge. The only way to distinguish that from a bug in your permutation generation is to inspect the list of email addresses you used. It may also be that your email from the mailing list has been forwarded so that the return address when you send email to the bot isn't one that is subscribed.

It wasn't real advice. Have you sent email to the specific email address listed?
