Re: how can I unsubscribe from this list

Posted by Mazur <ma...@raincode.net>.
Note that the mailing list should send you a notice saying you have
requested to unsubscribe.  You will not be officially taken off unless
you return this email by pressing "RETURN" to confirm you really want to
be removed.

I thought I would mention that in case you have all your tomcat email
routed to your trash or something....

HTH,
Rob

For one thing, you apparently didn't read my message entirely.  The
key point is not what your (main/current) email address is, but what
tomcat-user has as your subscribed address.  Did you look for the
appropriate header (as described in my message) to find that?  If you
find that, then try to unsubscribe with that address, then I'll be
more sympathetic to your complaints of the unsubscribe stuff not
working :-) (and I won't be able to offer any further help, because
you'll have gone further than my knowledge and capability regarding
this :-).

For the person that posted previously using MS Outlook: Someone posted
indicating how to see the complete headers using MS Outlook.  Did you
try that?  Did you find the appropriate header?  Any luck
unsubscribing using that address?

***** URGENT: UNSUBSCRIBING FROM THE TOMCAT-USER LIST *****

Posted by Milt Epstein <me...@uiuc.edu>.
Obviously a lot of people are having trouble unsubscribing from this
list.  Most likely these people have tried the simple/direct way of
unsubscribing -- sending email to

  tomcat-user-unsubscribe@jakarta.apache.org

-- without success.  That's because that way only works if you send
the unsubscribe request from the address you are subscribed from.  But
many people receive/send their email from a different address than the
one they originally subscribed from.

Some people (including me and others) have posted instructions on how
to unsubscribe when faced with this situation.  But it's not clear
that the right people are seeing these messages (I guess you can't
blame them too much, because they're probably not reading the messages
too closely, because the whole point is they want to get off this
list).  But I'm going to make another attempt to post these
instructions in the hope that it will help someone.  I'll try to make
the subject line such that even those people that are deleting
everything from the list will stop and notice it (for the people that
want to stay on the list, sorry about that :-).

First of all, you need to find out what address tomcat-user thinks
you're subscribed from.  To do that, look at the headers of a message
from the list, and you'll see something like:

Return-Path: <to...@jakarta.apache.org>

The Return-Path header line includes the address tomcat-user thinks
you're subscribed from -- with the "@" changed to a "=" to avoid
having two "@"'s in the Return-Path.  In this example, that's
joe=domain.com, which translates to joe@domain.com.

Once you know that address, you can unsubscribe by sending email to

  tomcat-user-unsubscribe-joe=domain.com@jakarta.apache.org

Voila!

So, if you are having trouble unsubscribing, please give this a try.
