Other LO email lists

#1

Even following the unsubscribe instructions on the "how to
unsubscribe" web page, I still get the message "user unknown".

I'm trying to get off the QA, Devs, Documentation & Marketing lists,
but two of them appear to be taking no notice, complaining that they
don't know my address ("Recipient address rejected: User unknown").
I've sent unsubscribe messages according to what it says in the
website from the accounts that the messages appear to be coming to,
but no luck.

Any help much appreciated.

Regards
Mark

Hello Mark,

Did you actually subscribe with your current email address? Maybe it was a different alias of yours?

Cheers,

Hi Charles,

was a different alias of yours?

Exactly. Which is why I was careful to mention "from the accounts that
the messages appear to be coming to", as detailed in the "how to
unsubscribe" web page.

I imagine you're right in thinking that this may be linked to the
cause, but trying to get the right account doesn't seem to be working.

Hello Mark,

I imagine you're right in thinking that this may be linked to the
cause, but trying to get the right account doesn't seem to be working.

It does indeed seem as though you have at least one account forwarding
mail to your current email address. I don't have any such forwarders
set up, so am guessing here; check headers of list mails to see if that
reveals clues about which account is forwarding mail.

If you're still having trouble locating the correct account(s), the
relevant list moderators _may_ be able to help you, if you supply them
with a list of candidate email addresses.

Hello,

You can see the account to which the mails are being send (the same that subscribed the list) if you analyse the source of a message that you receive from the list.
To get the source of a mail is program-dependent:

Apple Mail: Menu Presentation -> Message -> Raw content
Thunderbird: Display -> Source code of the message (U)
