Have you received a reply asking you to confirm the unsubscription, and you
then confirmed?

It's a two-step process - you have to confirm from the same email address - to
prevent someone else from simply unsubscribing you by sending an email with
your address in the From header.

Two things;

1. did you send it from the same address you used to subscribe?
They MUST match.

2. that generates a confirmation message sent to _that_ address, and you
MUST reply it it, or the unsub will not be done.

Hi Antony,

No reply to either of my unsubscribe messages was received. And yes, I did check my spam folder. Not sure if the issue is on the Apache side or the Hotmail side, but I appreciate your letting me know there's supposed to be a reply and confirmation. At least now I know where the process is breaking down. Just not sure what to DO about it. ????

Thanks,

Scott

To unsubscribe, you just need to send a blank email to:
"users-unsubscribe@httpd.apache.org". Use the same email address as the
one you are subscribed with so that you can be found in the database.


After sending the email, you need to allow at least 48 hours for any
messages still in the process to be delivered. Sometimes some email
servers don't send the messages immediately.


Make sure you don't have any filters created to delete the messages from
this list.

Well, I can confirm that the problem is not on the Apache side of things,
because I just (19:51:11) sent an email from my subscribed address to
users-unsubscribe@httpd.apache.org and I got the response back timed at
19:51:27.

Of course, I haven't replied to that, because I don't actually want to
unsubscribe myself, but it certainly shows that the process at the Apache end
is working as expected.

If you aren't getting this auto-reponse back again then I'd say either you're
not sending from the subscribed address, or the response is being filtered out
by your email provider for some reason.
