Quoting the trailer to the messages on this list -

When trying to unsubscribe I get the following -

Returned mail: Service unavailable

The original message was received at Wed, 21 Jul 1999 10:23:27 +0100

... while talking to karazm.math.uh.edu.:
>>> MAIL From:<aaj15_at_dial.pipex.com>
<<< 550 Mail from 193.149.69.85 rejected;see http://www.imrss.org/dssl/
554 <majordomo_at_fvwm.org>... Service unavailable

Having looked at the page mentioned above it appears to be the case that it
rejects on the grounds that I use a dynamic IP which DSSL has chosen to
black list - Spam may be objectionable but so is a mailing list one is
unable to unsubscribe from. Since most home users probably use Dynamic IPs
and are at risk from this arbitrary judgement this strikes me as downright
ludicrous. (Come to that I don't suppose people can subscribe either ...)
Assuming this spam filter doesn't reject this message as well, please
unsubscribe me I don't want to pay to download any more fvwm messages.
