Right, I'm not getting that.

Doesn't seem to work either.

No luck there either; I'm not getting the confirmation mails.

Please just manually take me off the damn list.

Sigh.  Keep reading at the URL provided and you will eventually find
where to send your requests and what information to provide to be
removed.

Nevermind.  I did you the favor of unsubscribing you.  Since the system
was actually responding (I checked), I assume that you were probably
filtering the response off to another folder or something.

I sure do love spending my days dealing with people who can't figure
out how to unsubscribe.  I got a legal threat a few days ago, i.e.,
"Take me off all mailing lists or legal action will ensue".  Lovely.

I sure do love getting spammed by people with broken mailing list
software.

Oh, I never bother with those.  My escalation procedure goes like this:

  1) Try the X-List-Unsubscribe header

  2) Try the list web page

  3) Complain to the list admins and/or list

  4) Write a procmail rule to mailbomb everybody who posts to the list

(4) is way more fun than dealing with lawyers.

?

Thousands of people use sources.redhat.com without problems.  You have
a problem receiving e-mail which is sent to you.  And you didn't even
bother following Chris's directions.

I don't think it's the mailing list software which is broken.
