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.
