*NEVER* send requests to be added to or removed from a mailing list to the
address used to send messages to recipients of the list.  It annoys them,
and they can't handle your request.

If you don't remember how you subscribed to the list originally, or someone
just gave you the list address, try:

1) <listname>-request

  Many lists provide such a mailbox for list "administrivia", as this type
  of request is called.

  If the list address is newbies@no.such.host, try sending your request to:

      newbies-request@no.such.host

2) Automated list manager

  Many lists are managed by automated list managers.  If <listname>-request
  doesn't work, try sending the message "help" to each of the above
  addresses.

  If the list address is newbies@no.such.host, try sending to:

      listserv@no.such.host
      lserv@no.such.host
      majordomo@no.such.host

3) Postmaster

  As a last resort, you can write to the postmaster on the list system
  and ask how to get your request processed.

  If the list address is newbies@no.such.host, try sending to:

      postmaster@no.such.host

Good luck!
