[OT] Unsubscribe does not work

From
Andreas Tille
Date:
Hi,

once I subscribed to this list I've got the information how to
subscribe:
  If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list,  send the following command in email to
pgsql-sql-request@hub.org:
  approve <my_password> unsubscribe Andreas Tille <tillea@rki.de>

Well, I did so but I'm still reciving messages from this list
(as well as from  PostgreSQL-general <pgsql-general@postgresql.org>but I wanted to bother the lower volume list at
first.)

I'll be on vacation for a longer period and do not want my mailbox
flooded ...

Any help
      Andreas.

What response did you get to your message?

I usually use majordomo@postgresql.org as the address to send mailing
list commands to, though it is possible the address you tried works
as well.

No response at all.

I normally send those command to majordomo as usual for mailing lists,
but if I get those explicite advise ...

Next try:
   mailx -s unsubscribe majordomo@postgresql.org <<...   unsubscribe   ...

Let's see what happens ...

majordomo worked the last time I tried it.

Rather than unsubscribing (and losing all your settings) I'd suggest
selecting the "nomail" subscription mode while you're on vacation.
Sending "help" and "help set" to majordomo should provide the details.
