Hi all,
I would like to sign-off the list, but I can't do it because I'm
subscribed as [log in to unmask], not as
[log in to unmask]
I'm sending messages to LISTSERV second week and get no response so
far, so I have no choice and must bother the Group instead.
Could you do me a favor, please?
Thanks in advance,
Boris.

No entry for your [log in to unmask] address could
be found in
the HP3000-L list at RAVEN.UTC.EDU. Here are a number of
possible reasons
why you might still be getting mail from the list:
1. You could be subscribed under a different, but equivalent
address. For
instance, if your e-mail address as it appears in the
'From:' line of
messages coming from you has the misfortune of depending on
the distance
between your workstation and the terminal room door, you
were probably
subscribed from a different address and, while your mail
system knows
that the two addresses are equivalent, LISTSERV has no way
to know that.
In this case the only thing you can do, beyond contacting
the list owner,
is to send a "REVIEW HP3000-L" command to find out under
what address you
are subscribed, and try to duplicate it with the help
of your user
support people.
2. If you are a BITNET user, you might be subscribed under
your Internet
address and sending this command via BITNET, or vice
versa. Most BITNET
sites have registered their Internet addresses in the
BITNET nodes
database, BITEARN NODES (the "tag" containing this
information is called
':internet' - if you do not understand any of this, just
bring a copy of
this message to your user support people). Unfortunately,
some sites have
still not done that, and in such cases LISTSERV has no way
to determine
that, for instance, BITNET node XYZCOL1 is the same as
Internet host
VM3.XYZ.EDU. If you suspect this might be your problem,
try resending
your request via both interactive message (SEND under VMS,
TELL under VM)
and e-mail.
3. You might be subscribed under an equivalent yet
different address -
for instance, one with explicit gatewaying, or an X.400
address with
different ordering of the various components, etc. You
could send a
"REVIEW HP3000-L" command and inspect the list membership
to find out
whether this is the case, and ask the list owners to remove
that address
from the list.
4. You could be subscribed to the list under another
account, from which
mail is being automatically forwarded to your
[log in to unmask]
account. In that case you should be able to leave the list
by resending
the signoff request from the account in question.
5. You could be subscribed to the list indirectly, via a
"redistribution"
list. That is, one of the subscribers to the LISTSERV list
is in fact a
mailing list, to which you are yourself subscribed
(note that this
"sub-list" is not necessarily managed by LISTSERV and,
in fact, such
lists are often manually maintained, in which case the only
way to leave
the list is to contact the person who maintains it). Since
you are not
directly subscribed to HP3000-L, the only way for you to
stop getting the
postings is to contact the administrators of this sub-list
and ask them
to sign you off.
You should be able to contact the list owners by simply
replying to this
message (if you do not know how to reply to a message in
your mailbox,
you can send a new message to
[log in to unmask] instead).
