In Marcia's case, the original subscription was to "mperry@lbl.gov" -- as you can discover if you examine the return message headers as described in the response. So, the question becomes, "how can I unsubscribe when my address has changed, and I cannot change it back?" The answer is further down in the reply message: > > If you unsubscribe, but continue to receive mail, you're subscribed > under a different address than you currently use. Please look at the > header for: > > 'Return-Path: ' > > The unsubscribe address for this user would be: > 'tomcat-user-unsubscribe-user=host.dom@jakarta.apache.org'. > Just mail to that address, suvalues, reply to the confirmation request, and you should receive a > message > that you're off the list. > > For some mail programs, you need to make the headers visible to > see the return path: > So, the correct way for Marcia to unsubscribe would be to send mail to: tomcat-user-unsubscribe-mperry=lbl.gov I have done it for her because I was already in the mail database to confirm what was going on -- PLEASE, everyone, read and follow the instructions in the reply message!
