Re: Need help to unsubscribe
Hello.
This message is mainly intended to vadim, evgeny, eithan and jonathan,
who afaik are incharge of this problem. (sorry if I'm wrong)
anyway, there is a problem which involves many "unsubscribe" messages to
the list.
I'm sure it's just a waste of bandwidth and time, and many of you are
annoyed by it and would like to stop it.
The problem was thought to be a mistake by the [un]subscriber to send
request to the right address, after the migration to listar.
However it is not so,
and it is the fact that the subscribtion forms are outdated.
Evgeny and eithan,
if on www.linux.org.il and/or the archives there is a form that's
directed to linux-il-request@linux.org.il
you should redirect it to linux-il-request@huji.ac.il
vadim,
you might want to filter such emails to linux-il-request,
and make it clear how to unsubscribe on the "welcome to linux-il" email,
maybe require authentication and even add an "how to unsubscribe" to the
footer.
jonathan,
you might want to redirect the requests to the reuqest address.
This will help both the list
(with less "unsubscribe" messages coming to us)
and the unhappy subscribers
(with no mail from the list coming to them)
Cheers,
Yoni.
