I got the idea from a previous email that mail outbound from the OP 
/to/ the list manager must have been getting lost, because he says he 
receives the unsub confirmation if someone else requests it on his 
behalf. It seems odd behaviour, as mail from the OP to the list 
itself is clearly getting through: the unsubscription address is just 
a different user on the same server.

It seems unlikely that the OOo mail system itself would selectively 
drop mail in this way. OTOH AFAIK (aren't acronyms lovely!) the unsub 
system looks only at the sender address, not the message content, so 
a PGP signature shouldn't be likely to mess that up.

To the OP: can you get replies from users-help@ ???  Might shed some 
light on where the problem might be.

Oh, another idea which I've /not/ thought through fully: if your 
mailer can 'bounce' messages, maybe you could try setting mail 
filters to send back all list mail to the list return address. It 
should get fed up and remove you eventually. Maybe?!?!?!
