(unsubscribe) +</h2> + +<p> +Don't want to be on a list any more? If you're just going on vacation or +are too busy to read mails and want to temporarily turn them off, you may want +to stop mail delivery rather than unsubscribing. This means you keep your +password and other settings so you can, for example, still have access to +private list archives. If this is what you'd +prefer, see Section <a href="node20.html#sec:nomail">7.1</a> for instructions on disabling mail +delivery temporarily. + +<p> +If you actually want to leave the list, there are two common ways you can +unsubscribe from a Mailman mailing list. + +<p> +Using the web interface: + +<ol> +<li>Go to the list information page for the list you want to leave. + (This will probably be something like + <a class="url" href="http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME">http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME</a>) +</li> +<li>Look for the section marked "LISTNAME subscribers" (usually found + near the bottom of the page). +</li> +<li>There should be a button marked "Unsubscribe or Edit Options." + Enter your email address in the box beside this button and press the + button. +</li> +<li>You should be brought to a new page which has an "Unsubscribe" + button. Press it to unsubscribe and follow the instructions given. +</li> +</ol> + +<p> +Using the email interface: + +<ol> +<li>Open a mail program which sends mail from the address you want to + unsubscribe. +</li> +<li>Send a mail to the list unsubscribe address, which will be of the form + <span class="email">LISTNAME-leave@DOMAIN</span>. + The subject and body + of this message will be ignored, so it doesn't matter what you put there. +</li> +</ol> + +<p> +After following one of these sets of instructions (you don't need to do +both!), you will be sent a confirmation mail and must follow the +instructions given in that mail to complete the unsubscription. This is to +stop people from unsubscribing you without your permission. In addition, a +moderator may need to approve your unsubscription. + +<p> +If you do not receive this confirmation mail with instructions, make sure +that you typed your email address correctly (if you were using the web +interface to unsubscribe) and that the address you tried +to unsubscribe is, indeed, actually subscribed to that list. For security +reasons, Mailman generates the same member options page regardless of +whether the address entered is subscribed or not. This means that people +cannot use this part of the web interface to find out if someone is +subscribed to the list, but it also means that it's hard to tell if you just +made a typo. + +<p> +Once your unsubscription has been processed, you will will probably receive +another message confirming your unsubscription from the list, and at that +point you should stop receiving messages. + +<p> +If you wish to skip the confirmation process (for example, you might be +unsubscribing an address which no longer works), it is possible to bypass it by +using your password instead and either logging in to your options page using +it (See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a>), or sending it with your email commands to +LISTNAME-request (See Appendix <a href="node41.html#a:commands">A</a> for advanced email +unsubscription commands). See Section <a href="node16.html#sec:getpassword">6.1</a> for more +information on getting your password. + +<p> + +<div class="navigation"> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<p></p><hr /> +<table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> +<tr> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="prev" title="5.1 how do I" + href="node13.html"><img src='previous.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Previous Page' width='32' /></a></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="parent" title="5 subscribing and unsubscribing" + href="node12.html"><img src='up.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Up one Level' width='32' /></a></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="next" title="6 Passwords" + href="node15.html"><img src='next.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Next Page' width='32' /></a></td> +<td align="center" width="100%">GNU Mailman - List Member Manual</td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="contents" title="Table of Contents" + href="contents.html"><img src='contents.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Contents' width='32' /></a></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> +</tr></table> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="prev" href="node13.html">5.1 How do I</a> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="node12.html">5 Subscribing and unsubscribing</a> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="next" href="node15.html">6 Passwords</a> +</div> +</div> +<hr /> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 5, 2007.</span> +</div> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +</body> +</html> |
