        Look closely... you've sent your unsubscribe request (which should be
        SIGNOFF) to LISTSERVE. Unfortunately, due to legacy restrictions on
        mailbox name length, the actual name is LISTSERV without the terminal
        "E".

        Try it again using LISTSERV@GERRY.VANAGON.COM
