How to Unsubscribe from a List
There
are two common ways you can unsubscribe from a Psych mailing list.
Using the web
interface:
1. Go to the list
information page for the list you want to leave. (http://mx0.psych.mcgill.ca/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME)
Substitute LISTNAME
with the name of the list that you want to unsubscribe from. LISTNAME name
examples are rave, jobads, events, coggroup
2. Look for the
section marked "LISTNAME subscribers" (usually found near the bottom
of the page).
3. There should be a
button marked "Unsubscribe or Edit Options." Enter your email
address in the box beside this button and press the button.
4. You should be
brought to a new page which has an "Unsubscribe" button. Press it to
unsubscribe and follow the instructions given.
Using the email
interface:
1. Open a mail
program which sends mail from the address you want to unsubscribe.
2. Send a mail to the
list unsubscribe address, which will be of the form
LISTNAME-leave@mx0.psych.mcgill.ca.
(example: to unsubscribe from the rave
list, type
rave-leave@mx0.psych.mcgill.ca). The subject and body of this
message will be ignored, so it doesn't matter what you put there.
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 unsubscribe process. This is to stop
people from unsubscribing you without your permission. In addition,
a moderator may need to approve your unsubscription.
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.
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.
