Unsubscribing
leave-listname
To unsubscribe from a list, send an email message to leave-listname@server or listname-leave@server.
Example:
leave-jazztalk@lists.example.com
jazztalk-leave@lists.example.com

- unsub
- uns
- unsubscribe
- unsuscribe (a common misspelling)
- signoff
- leave
- remove
- off
Aurea List Manager looks at your email address to determine if your are a member of the mailing list, and remove you from the mailing list.
Unique Unsubscribe Address
If you are using the mail merge tag %%email.unsub%%, a unique unsubscribe email address is generated
for each recipient. See Mail
Merge Short Tags for more information. Example:
leave-jazztalk-354-5684q@lists.example.com
This unique address includes the message ID of the mailing so Aurea List Manager can track which mailing a member unsubscribed from. It also includes the member ID and a check character so Aurea List Manager can unsubscribe the member even if the message is forwarded to another email address. The check character ensures that recipients cannot simply change the member ID and unsubscribe another member.
Unsubscribing When Using the Listmanager@ Command Address
You may also unsubscribe by writing to the listmanager@ command address. To do so, send a message to
listmanager@yourserver with the command unsubscribe listname. Aurea List Manager unsubscribe
the address from which the message is coming.
You may request Aurea List Manager unsubscribe a different email address or member by member id with the syntax
unsubscribe listname emailaddress:
unsubscribe jazztalk jane@example.com
unsubscribe jazztalk 234654
Whenever this method is used, for security purposes Aurea List Manager sends a notification to the address with your original request attached so that you are notified whenever someone who does not appear to be you attempts to unsubscribe you.
