No entry for your aisworld at LISTS.AISNET.ORG address could be found on the
BIGDATA list at LISTS.DREXEL.EDU. Here are a number of possible reasons
why you might still be getting mail from the list:
1. You may not be subscribed to this specific list
(BIGDATA at LISTS.DREXEL.EDU) but rather to an unrelated mailing list with
the same (or similar) name on another host. Please carefully check the
>From and Sender lines of the messages you are getting to ensure that the
mail is actually coming from BIGDATA at LISTS.DREXEL.EDU. If this is not the
case, you will have to contact the owners of the correct list.
2. You could be subscribed under a different, but equivalent address. For
instance, your site might have a cluster of mail machines that go by the
names GOLD.EXAMPLE.COM, SILVER.EXAMPLE.COM and so forth. Depending on how
they are configured, you might have sent your original subscription
request while logged into the GOLD machine and you may be trying to sign
off from the SILVER machine, which LISTSERV would see as two unrelated
hosts. Or your ISP may have silently changed the return address on your
mail from, say, MAIL.ISP.COM to ISP.COM (or vice versa).
In this case, since the subscriber list for BIGDATA is not publicly
searchable, the only thing you can do is to contact the list owner with a
list of possible addresses under which you might be subscribed.
3. You might be subscribed under an equivalent yet different address -
for instance, one with explicit gatewaying, or an X.400 address with
different ordering of the various components, etc.
Again, since the subscriber list for BIGDATA is not publicly searchable,
the only thing you can do is to contact the list owner with a list of
possible addresses under which you might be subscribed.
4. You could be subscribed to the list under another account, from which
mail is being automatically forwarded to your aisworld at LISTS.AISNET.ORG
account. In that case you should be able to leave the list by resending
the signoff request from the account in question.
5. You could be subscribed to the list indirectly, via a "redistribution"
list. That is, one of the subscribers to the LISTSERV list is in fact a
mailing list, to which you are yourself subscribed (note that this
"redistribution" list is not necessarily managed by LISTSERV and, in
fact, such lists are often manually maintained, in which case the only
way to leave the list is to contact the person who maintains it). Since
you are not directly subscribed to BIGDATA, the only way for you to stop
getting the postings is to contact the administrators of the
"redistribution" list and ask them to sign you off.
You should be able to contact the BIGDATA list owners by simply replying
to this message.
