How to Unsubscribe from a Mailman List or Listserv

Overview

1) Go to the Mailman Lists web page at http://ls.oswego.edu.
2) Click on the name of the list you wish to unsubscribe from.
3) Go to the section marked "LISTNAME subscribers" (usually found
near the bottom of the page).
4) There should be a button marked "Unsubscribe or Edit Options."
5) Enter your email address in the box beside this button and press
the button.
6) You should be brought to a new page that has an "Unsubscribe" button. Press it to unsubscribe. This will send a confirmation message to the email address you are unsubscribing from the list.
Check the email address you are unsubscribing and click on the link included in the email to confirm the unsubscription. This step is needed to make sure that no one else is unsubscribing you from the list.

If you do not see the list you wish to unsubscribe from listed on the http://ls.oswego.edu/ web page, then the list may not be publicly advertised. In this case, you would need to go to http://ls.oswego.edu/mailman/listinfo/listname (where listname is the name of the list). For example, if the list was called johndoe-list, you would need to go to http://ls.oswego.edu/mailman/listinfo/johndoe-list. Then continue following the above steps starting with Step 3.
