Hello. A couple people wrote in asking (Quoted anonymously without permission) > "I have just checked all the > messages exchanged with Majordomo@ietf.org on that occasion: no password > was given to me for unsubscribing. So which password do you expect me to > enter when I unsubscribe to i-d-announce-request@ietf.org?" Near the bottom of this page: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/I-D-Announce You will find something that says I-D-Announce Subscribers enter in the e-mail address that you use for ietf-announce (Majordomo). {Note, substitute IETF-Announce where appropriate} Then click on edit options. This will bring you to a page where you can unsubscribe and change your options for subscription. But as many have found out, I did not send out the passwords. The reason will be explained later. On that page, you will see "Forgotten Your Password?" Click the button that says "Email My Password To Me". Even though you did not technically forget your password, you can still go ahead and use this same button to get your new password. Trust me on this one, it's ok. :-) Why didn't I spam several thousand people with a password? 1) Many people know how to use mailman, so they retrieved the passwords themselves if they cared to do so. 2) By educated guess, I figured most of the people would stay on the list for at least a week, at which time their password (First of every month) would get auto-sent to them along with all of the other WG Passwords. In additional news, since there are sub-lists subscribed to I-D & IETF-Announce lists now, the "Sub-list" maintainers may want prevent list password from being passed along to sub-subscribers. Here is a procmail rule that could help you. * ^Subject:.ietf\.org.mailing.list.memberships.reminder This is provided as is, as a courtesy, as procmail. I don't know how to accomplish this on your TRS-80 running BeOS. :-) --Brett
