Can't you just send a message to majordomo@freebsd.org with the
following line?
unsubscribe freebsd-isp <alias-you-are-subscribed-as>
It'll send back an authorization request. You don't *HAVE* to
unsubscribe using the email address you're subscribed as!

You cant expect the mailer to differentiate between
an alias that you cant send mail from and a normal addr.
Ie
joe-bsd@blo.com is a totally different 'person' to the
mail than joe@blo.com. So obviously mailing unsubscribe
joe-bsd@blo.com from joe@blo.com wont work.
It isnt the lists fault that you cant send mail
from the alias.

I hear ya! Trying to remove yourself from these lists is almost
impossible!
I've written the postmaster three times, each time they say I'm not a
member, because
the only email address I can send from is my account@domain, not the
alias I used to
receive email at. How does one remove themselves from these damn lists?
Perhaps I should just start bouncing the mail at spam, which at this
point that's
all it is, spam.
