Question Howto unsubscribe from mailinglist?

hi,

i don't know if this is the right forum but i have a problem where i can't find a solution. i have a suse mailinglist subscribed and can't get it unsubscribed. my two obstacles are:
- how do i find out to which of my (forwarded) adresses it is sent, the to:-header only shows opensuse-security-announce@opensuse.org.
- how do i unsubscribe it then without forging my from-header?

regards
horst

> "You are not subscribed to this list, so you cannot unsubscribe."

obviously, you would not want someone else to unsubscribe you (just to
aggravate you), right?

to prevent that you *must* be able to send an email FROM the address
that the list is mailed to..

so, you need to go to all of your mail accounts and send an
unsubscribe from _each_ one...until you stumble on the correct account
and get a unsubscribe confirmation (instead of the "you are not
subscribed" you get now)..

[bummer, i know...but, next time remember the account used]

If you remember something about "you" ;-), you can also contact the "owner"
of the list and ask for a manual removal:
