Agreed. I've sent him (directly) info on how to unsubscribe which
AFAICT should work even without access to the gmail account. It
should appear here too FWIW.
It's a shame in some ways that bounces go back to the list manager
not the original sender, or I'd just bounce anything from him at my
mail server :-|
I'd be interested to see this info on how to unsubscribe without
access to the subscribed account. How does it handle the "goodbye"
confirmation message?
It's trivial, but I'm pretty sure ity should work. It does rely on
the forwarding being set up and consistent though. I'll cut'n'paste
what I said earlier:
"1. In your mail client set your email address to the problem gmail
address, and send an unsubscription request to OOo. 1a The list
manager will respond to the problem address.
2. Assuming email is being forwarded as you describe, you will
receive the confirmation email.
3. Reply to the confirmation email as directed therein.
4. Restore your proper sending address in your mail client."
(and yes, I know some of this could be short-circuited; in
particular, I vaguely recall confirmation could be completed via a
web link in the copnfirmation email, but may be wrong.)
It /should/ work, no?
Can you do steps 1 through 3 without the password of the problem
account?
I have often sent email from one account via another ISP. In fact, at
work, I've configured Seamonkey to send email with my choice of work or
personal ID and it all goes out via the work SMTP server. At home, I've
got a few different accounts that all get sent through my ISPs SMTP
server. As long as you can log into a mail server, you can usually send
with any email address.
Yes, but you've configured all the accounts with the correct passwords
on all the systems, right? It's that "logging into a mail server" I'm
asking about. Suppose the problem account were [EMAIL PROTECTED], which
is real but belongs to somebody else. If I create an account of that
name under Thunderbird, and try to send mail using that identity, it
asks me to supply the password (which I can't). I therefore can't send
a message of any kind that would be received as being from that
account. What am I missing here?
I need only the authentication for the SMTP server I'm using. I don't
require any other to send with other email accounts. For example, I
have a gmail account. I can send an email from that address via my ISPs
SMTP server. And, as I mentioned in the other note, while at work I can
use the company's SMTP server to send email with my personal email
address. You can try this your self. In an email application such as
Seamonkey or Thunderbird, you can have many different email accounts
configured. However, you normally only configure for one SMTP server,
usually your ISP's. In fact many ISPs will not let you access a foreign
SMTP server on port 25, though with often you can use another, such as
port 587. In short, the authentication allows you to use the SMTP
server. It doesn't affect what email address you send from, while using
that server.
All my mail goes out over the same SMTP server, the one for onr.com, but
that doesn't stop Thunderbird from requiring the password of the
specific account of the identity I'm using as the message author. If I
supply my onr.com password for a different identity, the send fails.
Hmm. Just tried the same test again, and this time I wasn't asked for a
password! The message was sent from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
and received fine. But when I tried this earlier (setting up a gmail
identity and using it to send a message), the password was requested and
the send failed. I'm really confused!
