Hello Everyone
I must start by saying that I do want to be subscribed to this list.
This
message is only about my attempts at unsubscribing one particular address.
Here we go:
I run Fedora Linux on my computer, and I wanted to subscribe to
[email protected] from an alias that is delivered to a real user account.
The
alias is "[email protected]" and it is delivered to the user
account
"steve"
I have just checked my "/etc/aliases" file to make sure that
"listsopenofficeorg"
is still delivered to "steve" and I found the following:
lists-openofficeorg: steve
That is backed up by the fact that for the first time in a long time, I
actually
saw a message sent from "[email protected]" arrive on this list.
[email protected] accepted my subscription request from the
"[email protected]" address. For a while (I don't know how long,)
everything worked fine. I received all the email from this list, and I was able
to send messages to the list.
I have continued to receive messages from this list, but at some point
my
messages sent from my "[email protected]" address ceased arriving
on
the list. In other words, I was RECEIVING mail from [email protected] but I
could not SEND mail...
So I signed up for this list under the address [email protected]. This
has
worked perfectly for sending and receiving.
Then I tried to unsubscribe [email protected]. Guess
what? I NEVER
received a confirmation to reply to. So, my address was "subscribed" enough to
continue to receive messages from the list, but not "subscribed" enough to get
an email through TO the correct address to get unsubscribed. Not the end of the
world, mind you, but it is annoying.
But tonight I sent a message to [email protected] as as test FROM
[email protected]. It ARRIVED! Before I started this message, I
attempted to unsubscribe [email protected] again. I'm going to
check
right now and see if I got a confirmation yet... Well, nothing yet :(
In closing, despite what some people on the list in question might
think, it
does appear to be possible to:
1. Subscribe to the list.
2. Receive mail from the list.
3. But not be able to send mail TO the list.
4. And also not be able to send a unsubscribe request TO users-
[email protected]
Hopefully I'll be able to unsubscribe [email protected] from this
list real soon, and just have one address subscribed to this list...
