Question: I want to unsubscribe from a Mailman list that I am on. How do I do so?

Answer:

To unsubscribe from a Mailman mailing list at the UW, go to the list's information page at

http://mailman.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/listname

If you are subscribed to the list with an @u.washington.edu address, use the "Log in" button to log in with your UW NetID.

Under the list's "Subscribers" section you will see an "Unsubscribe or edit options" button next to which you can enter your email address. If you logged in with your UW NetID, your address should be filled in for you. Otherwise, enter the email address with which you are subscribed to the list and click on the button. This will take you to the list's "Membership Configuration" page where you can change your membership options, unsubscribe to the list, or request a password reminder. By clicking on the "Unsubscribe" button, a confirmation message will be emailed to you. The message will have a URL that you can go to in order to complete the removal process. (There will also be instructions on how to confirm your unsubscribe request by email.) This confirmation step ensures that you will not be removed from the list by someone other than yourself or the list owner.
