*NEVER* send requests to be added to or removed from a mailing list to the
address used to send messages to recipients of the list. It annoys them,
and they can't handle your request.
If you don't remember how you subscribed to the list originally, or someone
just gave you the list address, try:
1) <listname>-request
Many lists provide such a mailbox for list "administrivia", as this type
of request is called.
If the list address is newbies@no.such.host, try sending your request to:
newbies-request@no.such.host
2) Automated list manager
Many lists are managed by automated list managers. If <listname>-request
doesn't work, try sending the message "help" to each of the above
addresses.
If the list address is newbies@no.such.host, try sending to:
listserv@no.such.host
lserv@no.such.host
majordomo@no.such.host
3) Postmaster
As a last resort, you can write to the postmaster on the list system
and ask how to get your request processed.
If the list address is newbies@no.such.host, try sending to:
postmaster@no.such.host
Good luck!
