<title>How to unsubscribe?</title>
<para>
To unsubscribe from a list, send an email to
<ulink url="mailto:listar@linuxfromscratch.org">
listar@linuxfromscratch.org</ulink> and write <emphasis>unsubscribe
listname</emphasis> as the subject header of the message.
</para>
<para>
Multiple lists can be unsubscribed at the same time
using one email. This is done by writing some junk as the
subject header, something that isn't a valid command like "hello". Then
the unsubscribe commands come in the body of the message. The email
will look like:
</para>
<blockquote><literallayout>
To: listar@linuxfromscratch.org
Subject: hello
unsubscribe lfs-discuss
unsubscribe lfs-apps
unsubscribe alfs-discuss
</literallayout></blockquote>
<para>
After the email was sent, the Listar program will reply with an
email requesting a confirmation of the unsubscription
request. After this confirmation email is sent back, Listar will
send an email again with the message that the user has been unsubscribed
from the list(s).
