As a result, my unsub command carries an address that isn't in the database, and every attempt to modify the acknowledgement email has failed, as I'm still getting messages. And while the typical reader/volunteer cannot help, a moderator must occasionally read these messages, and that person can bring this to the attention of the list owner (who apparently ignores emails written by me directly). And yes, I'm on this list and the Discuss list, so I am speaking of multiple lists. I apologize for hijacking the original thread, but I can't think of any better way to get a moderator's attention without being obnoxious.

It sounds as if your host doesn't support smtp (or whatever sendmail protocol) and your local client is set to send from a server which does have sendmail. But if for whatever reason you cannot seem to get your email address off of a list (which, BTW, there is ALWAYS a "proper" way to do so if instructions given are followed), why don't you just create a filter for your email or webmail app that consigns the messages to the trash? You will never see them again. Of course, this method would continue to use minimal bandwidth and most certainly is an "option of last resort". But if you don't want to "see" the messages and can't seem to get them to stop.....well, just let your machine send them to the trash for you. This option is really a little more involved than simply sending your unsubscribe request from the correct server, but... -- UNixThis! http://unixthis.com [email protected] registered Linux user number 526076
