    That should only happen when the mail bounces for a prolongued period
    of time (say > 5 days) or when the mailer reports "unknown user". I
    currently have to do this manually (yes, that's a lot of wading
    through bounced messages!), but newer mailing list managers such as
    Mailman will do this automatically. In other words: if mail bounces,
    you'll eventually get unsubscribed no matter what system is in use.

    I don't recall your specific case. I'll try to keep an eye open to
    see if/when mails to your address start bouncing again.
