If you still need 25 to find out what email address you used to subscribe, the instructions 26 on this page can help. 27</p> 28</div> 29 30<p> 31 First off, if your email address has changed since you subscribed, don't 32 panic! If you are still able to receive mail at your old email address, 33 you can still unsubscribe without having to wait for someone to do it 34 manually! An explanation of how to unsubscribe an email address other 35 than your current one from the mailing lists is located 36 <a href="#unsubdiff">further below</a>. 37</p> 38 39<h2>Simple unsubscribe by email</h2> 40 41<p> 42 To unsubscribe from one of those mailing lists, all you usually need to 43 do is send an email to <code><em>listname</em>+unsubscribe@lists.php.net</code> 44 (substituting the name of the list for <code><em>listname</em></code> 45 — for example, <code>php-general+unsubscribe@lists.php.net</code>). 46</p> 47 48<p> 49 If you are subscribed to the <strong>digest version</strong> of the 50 mailing list, you need to send an email to 51 <code><em>listname</em>+unsubscribe-digest@lists.php.net</code>. 52</p> 53 54<p> 55 You will get an automated response with further instructions on how to 56 unsubscribe from the list. You are not simply unsubscribed immediately 57 so that someone can't unsubscribe other people from the list without 58 their consent. 59</p> 60 61<h2>Find out the email address used to subscribe</h2> 62 63<p> 64 If you get a reply that says you are not subscribed to the mailing list, 65 but you are receiving mailing list traffic, it may be because your email 66 is now coming from a different address than when you first subscribed. 67 (This is determined using the SMTP "envelope sender", <strong>not</strong> 68 the 'From:' or any other header in your email. So you may not have 69 changed anything, it may have been a change to your mail server or 70 at your ISP.) 71</p> 72 73<p> 74 To determine what email address is subscribed to the mailing list that 75 you are receiving the messages from, you'll need to inspect the headers 76 of one of those messages. The email address will be encoded in the 77 'Return-Path' header with the @-sign replaced with an equals (=) sign. 78 For example, if the subscribed email address is 79 <code>joecool@example.com</code>, the 'Return-Path' header will look 80 something like: 81</p> 82 83<pre class="info"> 84 Return-Path: <php-general-return-1234-joecool=example.com@lists.php.net> 85</pre> 86 87<h3>Viewing full headers in different email applications</h3> 88 89<dl> 90 <dt><a href="http://www.eudora.com/">Eudora</a></dt> 91 <dd> 92 Click on the 'Blah Blah Blah' toolbar button above the message. 93 </dd> 94 95 <dt><a href="http://gmail.google.com/">Gmail</a></dt> 96 <dd> 97 While viewing a message, click on 'More options' and 'Show original'. 98 This will display the headers for that message in a new window. 99 </dd> 100 101 <dt><a href="http://www.hotmail.com/">Hotmail</a></dt> 102 <dd> 103 Click on 'Options', 'Mail' and then 'Mail Display Settings'.

However, if 184 you find yourself unable to unsubscribe from the mailing list, send an 185 email to <code>php-list-admin@lists.php.net</code>. Make sure to include the 186 <strong>complete</strong> headers from one of the messages you have 187 received from the mailing list. Keep in mind that there's a human being 188 at the other end of that last email address, so you'll have to be patient. 189</p> 190 191<?php site_footer(); ?> 192
