Hi,
I’m hoping someone can help me out with the unsubscribe process. I have
sent (many times) an email to [email protected] with
“unsubscribe” and/or “# unsubscribe” in the body. Each time I get back
this confirmation request (below). When I reply to it (I’ve tried
replying with “unsubscribe”, “# unsubscribe”, and with nothing at all) I
get a lengthy email in reply saying that my email has no effective
commands, etc.
And then I keep getting more emails from the mailing list.
I’ve also tried unsubscribing from Mailing Lists but all I get is a
page that says “405 Not Allowed - nginx/0.7.67”

Have you tried replying with the quoted text of the confirmation request
still in your outgoing email? You seem to be saying you’ve replied with
a fresh email containing nothing, or nothing but the word “unsubscribe”
with or without a hash mark. I think you need specific parts of the
actual text of the confirmation request email in your reply.
Also . . . if you have replied that way, perhaps you’re replying with
an HTML email and it’s screwing up the ability of the system to read the
important parts of the reply. Make sure you’re replying in plaintext.

Just reply as-is. Don’t change the body at all. I just unsubscribed and
resubscribed and it worked fine. My steps:
send “unsubscribe” in the body to [email protected] from my
subscribed email address.
get back an email for confirmation.
hit reply, hit send. It looked something like this:
I didn’t change the body at all. Do make sure that it too is sent from
the subscribed address. (I use email address extensions to sort into
mailboxes and track spammers… like Nicholas M.!)
Get a final response that you’ve been unsubscribed.
Extra data: I’m using osx’s mail.app and sending/receiving plain text
email. Your mail client should also be sending plain text email to
ruby-talk-ctl@.

Thanks, Ryan. I think my issue might be that my email (Outlook) was
sending HTML not plain text. I changed that but now I’ve got a different
problem: I don’t receive the confirmation email (Step 2 in your
description below). And I’m not already unsubscribed because I keep on
getting emails from the mailing list. I’ve since tried sending the
initial unsubscribe request in both HTML and plain text and I don’t
receive any response. I’ve also tried responding (Step 3) in plain text
to the original (Step 2) confirmation emails that I received (before
asking for help) but nothing happens: not the final (Step 4) response or
even the one I was originally getting about “no effective commands,
blah, blah.”
When I originally sent (multiple) unsubscribe requests, the server
responded right away.
Would an administrator kindly remove my email address from this mailing
list?
It’s not my intent to bother anyone or be lazy about this. I understand
that there is a procedure in place to unsubscribe. But it doesn’t work
for me. I’ve followed the directions for unsubscribing exactly as they
have been provided, and for me, for whatever reason, they don’t work.
same problem here; expcet for thatI don’t get anything in reply when I
send the confirmatory unsubscribe mail, and the mailing list postings
keep flooding up my inbox .
