[filmscanners] Re: filmscanners server long time delays in handling unsubscribemessages

["James Hill" <jmhphoto@mindspring.com>]

hmmm...we'll see if this get through...
I unsubscribed a few days ago due to too much work and not enough time.  It
seems to have worked...mostly.  I am still getting 1 or 2 messages a day but
that's it.  It's almost as if the messages I get are being sent to me and cc
to the group, but that's not the case.  I did get a confirmation of my
unsubscribe request almost immediately from the listserver and the bulk of
the messages stopped right after.  Kind of weird how the reply below got to
me but the original didn't.  At least it's on topic even if it's off list.
; )

No reply necessary, I'm just bored at last.

unsubscribemessages


For some reason the filmscanner list server takes *forever* to process
nomail and unsubscribe messages.  I like to turn off the mail when I'm away
for a few days.  I have to think to do this a week in advance for the server
to act on my nomail request (or followup unsubscribe request) before I
depart.  Last time (at the end of October) it took a week -- seven days --
to get a response from the server!
