You do not need to be subscribed to post to this list.

I've never known an unsubscribe request to need identity confirmation.
Are you sure you're asking the system to unsubscribe you not subscribe you?

I'm really not sure how, or even if it's possible, to escalate this to
the next level. I've subscribed and unsubscribed to PHP lists various
times with several addresses and have never had any issues.

I call PEBKAC.

To remove your address from the list, just send a message to
the address in the ``List-Unsubscribe'' header of any list
message. If you haven't changed addresses since subscribing,
you can also send a message to:
<php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net>

I'm done with you

Yes, I tried every link on that confirmation message when nothing would
work. And I am 110% positive I have used the confirmation-unsubscribe
link. It sends me a message asking if I am sure that I want to UNsubscribe.

Great, I am stuck receiving the email equivalent of spam(since I do not
want to receive it) for the rest of this email address's life. wtf.

Tried that many time.

And I'm done with you. Thanks.

Here's a page with more info about unsubscribing and problems. Have you
seen this? http://www.php.net/unsub.php

no, you have to make sure that you are sending and receiving all messages through this account.

If you have more then one account configured in your email client, make sure when it sends out the
message, that it is using the account that is registered with the php mailing list. I had the same
problems years ago, until I realized that I was sending the requests from the wrong email account.

Not that I was submitting the wrong email address, but when I sent the request, it would send me the
confirmation email, when I replied to that message, I used the wrong account because the default
account in my email client was a different account then what I was getting the mailing list from.

Just a suggestion from someone that went through the exact same problem.

Yes, I've seen that page on php.net

And no Jim, I'm not sure this is the 'exact' same problem. I understand
what you are saying and it's not working.

Ok, I am done for now with this list. Thanks for trying anyways.

I don't know... just an idea... if you don't want to see this list then
create a rule in your email program that states that anything with [PHP]
in the subject line goes to trash... That way you don't have to bother
with getting upset.

*sighs* What is this world coming to?
