If you have problems subscribing to or unsubscribing from a mailing
75
-
list, it may be because the mailing list software can't figure out
76
-
the correct mailing address to use. If your email address is
77
-
<literal>joeblow@example.com</literal>, and you are trying to
78
-
subscribe to php-general, you can send your subscription request to
79
-
<literal>php-general-subscribe-joeblow=example.com@lists.php.net</literal>,
80
-
or your unsubscription request to
81
-
<literal>php-general-unsubscribe-joeblow=example.com@lists.php.net</literal>.

Use similar addresses for the other mailing lists.

The most common reason folks have a hard time unsubscribing from our
86
-
mailing lists is due to the use of mail forwarders. For example,
87
-
if your email address is danbrown@example.com, but you subscribed to
88
-
the mailing list with the forwarder php-lists@example.com and forward
89
-
that to danbrown@example.com, attempting to unsubscribe
90
-
danbrown@example.com will not work, as that address is not even known
91
-
to our systems. Instead, you will need to unsubscribe the address to
92
-
which the mail is being sent - in this example, php-lists@example.com.
