[Solved] I am receiving hundreds of posts as e-mails

Post by Richard-S »

I registered on here about 10 months ago and asked one question. I did not request any e-mail notifications. Since then I have received hundreds and hundreds of e-mails of posts of various topics. Recently the inundation has increased. I must put a stop to this persecution. Who is the forum administrator and what is his contact information so I can get rid of this huge problem?

Thanks.

Richard

Go to the User Control Panel--->Overview--->Manage Subscriptions and see if you subscribed to some forums. If so delete the subscription.

I can not see any question you asked 10 months ago. The above posting is the only one by "Richard-S".
Who or what is the sender of the annoying e-mails?

In fact you have just registered this forum to ask your question above!
If you use the same e-mail address then it means that you've also subscribed a mailing list.

Please add '[Solved]' at the beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

I un-registered months ago to try to eliminate the problem, and then re-registered recently to try to do something about it.

Here are a sample of what I am getting:

Those messages are from the OOo users mailing list. That has no connection with this forum, except that both deal with OpenOffice.org.

Anyway, send a message, from the email address that's receiving the messages, to this address: ooo-users-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org

That should start the automated process of getting you off the list and stopping the messages.
