This has happened to several people in the past.  The problem seems to
lay with people changing address but still receiving mail to their old
address.  They then try to cancel a subscription but the mailman program
will only accept unsubscribe messages from the subscribing address.
There is a way around this that doesn't involve the list admin, but
can't remember the details off-hand.

John, if you're still reading this can you check the address messages
from the LUG are being sent too and use that to unsubscribe with please.
You should have just received a message from the mailman robot giving
your address and password.  These will allow you to unsubscribe via the
mailman webpages.

Steve, we could do with a "I can't unsubscribe! What can I do?" bit on
the mailing list page.  I find it amazing the number of people
completely unaware of all the mailing list information in the headers of
every mail from the list.

Toodle pip,

Al
