Mailing list docs are misleading/broken/outdated

I am trying to unsubscribe to this mailing list.  When I go to:


https://kafka.apache.org/contact

Apache Kafka<https://kafka.apache.org/contact>
kafka.apache.org
Contact Mailing Lists. We have a few mailing lists hosted by Apache: users@kafka.apache.org: A list for general user questions about Kafka™. To subscribe, send an ...





The docs say:


"To unsubscribe from any of these you just change the word "subscribe" in the above to "unsubscribe"."

So if I try sending an email to users-unsubscribe@kafka.apache.org, I get SMTP errors/failures (is not a valid email address).

How do I unsubscribe?!

Zac,

I tried it myself using a different email account to dev list and it works
as expected. This is what I got as confirmations:

1) first an email titled "confirm unsubscribe from dev@kafka.apache.org" ..

2) follow its steps to send to the confirmation address, then you'll
receive an email titled "GOODBYE from dev@kafka.apache.org" ..

Content as:

------------

Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the
dev@kafka.apache.org mailing list.

I'm working for my owner, who can be reached
at dev-owner@kafka.apache.org.

Acknowledgment: I have removed the address

   xxxxxxxx

from the dev mailing list. This address
is no longer a subscriber.

------------
