-      If you have problems subscribing to or unsubscribing from a mailing
-      list, it may be because the mailing list software can't figure out
-      the correct mailing address to use. If your email address is
-      <literal>joeblow@example.com</literal>, and you are trying to
-      subscribe to php-general, you can send your subscription request to
-      <literal>php-general-subscribe-joeblow=example.com@lists.php.net</literal>,
-      or your unsubscription request to
-      <literal>php-general-unsubscribe-joeblow=example.com@lists.php.net</literal>.
-      Use similar addresses for the other mailing lists.

       The most common reason folks have a hard time unsubscribing from our
-      mailing lists is due to the use of mail forwarders.  For example,
-      if your email address is danbrown@example.com, but you subscribed to
-      the mailing list with the forwarder php-lists@example.com and forward
-      that to danbrown@example.com, attempting to unsubscribe
-      danbrown@example.com will not work, as that address is not even known
-      to our systems.  Instead, you will need to unsubscribe the address to
-      which the mail is being sent - in this example, php-lists@example.com.
