Unsubscribe
To unsubscribe (leave) a mailing list, the following commands are equivalent:
unsub
uns
unsubscribe
unsuscribe (a common misspelling)
signoff
leave
remove
off
Lyris List Manager will look at your email address, determine if your are a member of the mailing list, and remove you from the mailing list.
If you are subscribed to a mailing list with a different email address than the one you are currently mailing from, you can specify the email address to unsubscribe on the unsubscribe command line.
Whenever this method is used, Lyris List Manager will send you a notification with your original request attached. This is done for security purposes, so that you are notified whenever someone who
does not appear to be you attempts to unsubscribe you.
When sent to the List manager address, the command syntax is:
unsubscribe listname [optional: email address OR member id]
When sent to the listname-request address, the command syntax is:
unsubscribe [optional: email address OR member id]
For example, if you are subscribe to a mailing list called "jazztalk" at "lyris.net", you could send the following command to lyris@lyris.net:
If you were subscribed to "jazztalk" with a different email address than where you are currently mailing from, you could specify that email address in the unsubscribe command to
lyris@lyris.net:
unsubscribe jazztalk jsmith@somewhere.com
Alternatively, you could have sent the message to jazztalk-request@lyris.net, and thus omitted the list name:
unsubscribe jsmith@somewhere.com
If you specify an email address to unsubscribe, and that address is not yours, Lyris List Manager will generate an unsubscribe confirmation message, and send it to the address that
is being unsubscribed. You will then need to reply to that confirmation message (from any email address) in order to be unsubscribed. This is a security precaution, to ensure that people do not
maliciously unsubscribe other people.
Some mailing lists are set up to confirm all unsubscribes.
