> Common Reasons Why Your Subscription/Unsubscription Attempt Failed
> ********************************************************************
>
>
> * You left your signature file on. This confuses the subscription
> server. Turn it off.
>
> * You misspelled the word "subscribe" or "unsubscribe". There is
> only one way to spell those words. I have seen every imaginable
> misspelling, none of them work. There is only one word in your
> message, please check that you have it right.
>
> * Make sure you sent your subscription/unsubscription to the
> correct address above, and that you spelled the address properly.
>
> * You left the html option clicked in your Microsoft or Netscape
> mail program. The server will not understand html code. Uncheck
> it, and leave it off. Most people hate receiving html coded
> emails too, so everybody else you know will probably be happy
> that you finally turned it off.
>
> * You sent your request to the primary list address, and
> consequently everybody on the list. This is a good way to get
> flamed, but won't get you off the list. Make sure you send your
> request to the -request address listed above.
>
> * You tried to have a conversation with the list server. The list
> server is a computer, and does not care what you have to say.
> Anything in your message other then the word subscribe or the
> word unsubscribe will probably cause it to fail.
>
> * You only put the subscribe/unsubscribe in the subject, and
> didn't put it in the body. You have to have it in the body of the
> email message.
>
> * You made assumptions about what sort of list management
> software is being used and sent commands appropriate for
> majordomo or listserv. Those won't work. Please follow the
> directions above.
>
> * You are using a free email account that automatically pastes an
> advertisement on the end of your mail. This will confuse the
> server and the request will fail. Sorry about that, at the moment
> I don't have any way to fix it, so you are screwed. Send mail to
>
listmanager@annihilist.com and ask for help. Expect it to take as
> much as a week before I have time to help you. Please do not send
> repeated requests during this time, as you will only piss me off
> and it won't make anything happen faster.

> General info
> ------------
> Subcription/unsubscription/info requests should always be sent to the -request
> address of a mailinglist.
> If a mailinglist for example is called "thelist@some.domain", then the -request
> address can be inferred from this to be: "thelist-request@some.domain".
>
> To subscribe to a mailinglist, simply send a message with the word "subscribe"
> in the Subject: field to the -request address of that list.
>
> As in: To:
Loopers-Delight-request@loopers-delight.com
> Subject: subscribe
>
> To unsubscribe from a mailinglist, simply send a message with the word (you
> guessed it :-) "unsubscribe" in the Subject: field to the -request address of
> that list.
>
> As in: To: thelist-request@some.domain
> Subject: unsubscribe
>
> In the event of an address change, it would probably be the wisest to first
> send an unsubscribe for the old address (this can be done from the new
> address), and then a new subscribe for the new address (the order is
> important).
>
> Most (un)subscription requests are processed automatically without human
> intervention.
>
> Do not send multiple (un)subscription or info requests in one mail. Only one
> will be processed per mail.
>
> NOTE: The -request server usually does quite a good job in discriminating
> between (un)subscribe requests and messages intended for the maintainer.
> If you'd like to make sure a human reads your message, make it look
> like a reply (i.e. the first word in the Subject: field should be "Re:",
> without the quotes of course); the -request server does not react to
> replies.
