I have followed the instructions returned by the list server for
unsubscribing from this list, but, alas, they are in error, and
no obvious method has availed any solution. As such, I have
written the following mail-processing program, which can be
implemented by any user of a Unix system with a standard
sendmail configuration via a pipe in one's .forward:
#!/bin/sh -
tempfile=/tmp/incoming_mail.$$
list_address='calc-ti@lists.ppp.ti.com'
mailspool=/usr/spool/mail/whoever_you_are
cat >$tempfile
grep -i $list_address $tempfile > /dev/null 2>&1 &&
/usr/lib/sendmail $list_address < $tempfile ||
{ cat $tempfile ; echo } >> $mailspool
rm $tempfile
;^)
Seriously, though, the available instructions are incorrect.
