Is there are secret way to unsubscribe from this mailing list?

Could someone PLEASE remove me from this modperl mailing list?

I've been sending email to `modperl-unsubscribe@apache.org' almost
every day for the past week or two, but I still keep receiving email
from this list.

The mailing list documentation on http://perl.apache.org says to send
email to the address above in order to unsubscribe.  Furthermore, the
following three headers get appended to every message in this list,
which further supports the idea that I need to use of that particular
email address for unsubscription requests:

  list-help: <ma...@apache.org>
  list-unsubscribe: <ma...@apache.org>
  list-post: <ma...@apache.org>

If no one is available/able to remove me from this list, perhaps
there's something special and undocumented that I need to do in order
to unsubscribe ... if so, could someone please let me know?

Thanks in advance.

Heh, isn't that like saying "Raise your hand, anyone who is not present" ?

I understand how this process works.  However, the problem is that I
received nothing in return from any of the 6-10 unsubscribe messages I
sent to that address over the past week or two.  I also received
nothing in return when I sent email to `modperl-help@apache.org'.  And
yet, I keep receiving these messages from the mailing list, so my
email address must be valid ... :)

I sent the requests to `modperl-unsubscribe@apache.org' and also to
`modperl-help@apache.org' from the same address to which these mailing
list emails are arriving, which is indeed the address I used when
subscribing to the mailing list: `ljz@asfast.com'.

Yep ... I understand all this, and I have sucessfully done it many
times before with other mailing lists to which I've been subscribed.

The problem seems to be that I'm not receiving the initial replies
with the pseudo-random key.

Has anyone actually gotten these `modperl-unsubscribe' or
`modperl-help' addresses to work successfully within the past week or
two?

The list is run using ezmlm.  Sending mail to modperl-unsubscribe is
just the first step in the process.  You should receive a reply from
the list server containing a pseudo-random key.  Return the key to the
list server and you will be off the list.  This process prevents
forged unsubscription by third parties.

The initial answer you get from the unsubscribe address may also say
"you are not on the list".  That means that the address you sent the
mail from is not on the list.  The address through which list mail is
reaching you is encoded in the return-path of each mail you receive
from the list.  That is the address that you need to use when
unsubscribing.

It's probably because you are subscribed by the address different from the
one you send the unsubscribe request from. If you read the reponse that
you get when you send to modperl-help@apache.org, you will see how to
unsubscribe from the mail account different from the one listed in the
mod_perl list db. 

Hope this helps.
