Here's my 2 cents worth: As George Terrone <gterrone@itsco.com> mentioned, I'm a sysadmin as well and I didn't have any luck when I unsubscribed before leaving on vacation. Here's what I received with an unsubscribe just a few minutes ago: <headers trimmed> Date: Thu, 08 May 1997 05:54:08 +1000 (EST) From: nntpcache-users-request@suburbia.net Subject: Re: unsubscribe In-reply-to: <01IILDSGW97690MWJC@av410a.mtl.marconi.ca> To: march@mtl.marconi.ca Message-id: <199705071954.FAA22978@suburbia.net> Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Precedence: junk X-Loop: nntpcache-users@suburbia.net References: <01IILDSGW97690MWJC@av410a.mtl.marconi.ca> You have not been removed, I couldn't find your name on the list.

If you recognise one of these addresses as being the one you wanted to unsubscribe, send in a new unsubscribe request containing the text: unsubscribe the_address_you_meant. If this wasn't your intention or you are having problems getting yourself unsubscribed, reply to this mail now (quoting it entirely (for diagnostic purposes), and of course adding any comments you see fit).
