How do I unsubscribe?

To unsubscribe from a list, send a blank message to the unsubscribe address for that list. The unsubscribe address is shown along with the susbscribe addresses on the mailing lists pages: e.g. unsubscribe addresses for top-level lists are shown on the top-level lists page .

As an example, say you want to unsubscribe from the nbusers@netbeans.org list. As shown on the top-level lists page , the unsubscribe address is :

nbusers-unsubscribe@netbeans.org

If you are subscribed to the digest version (where you get all message in one email), then the unsubscribe address is:

nbusers-digest-unsubscribe@netbeans.org
You'll receive a confirmation request - reply to that, and you're done.

What if I cannot send messages from the account I want to unsubscribe?

If you can't sent mail from your old address, you need to send a special type of unsubscribe request - one that says "unsubscribe an address different to the one this message is coming from". To do this send a blank message to a special format address:

   listname-unsubscribe-user=host.domain@netbeans.org

• listname is the list name e.g. nbannounce, or nbusers
• user=host.domain is your address with the "@" replaced by "=". So for eg jsmith@hotmail.com would become jsmith=hotmail.com

So if you were trying to unsubscribe your old address jsmith@hotmail.com from the nbusers list, you would send a blank message to :

    nbusers-unsubscribe-jsmith=hotmail.com@netbeans.org
