"Take you name off the list" is much much easier said than
done.  I personally don't know where the list lives or who
maintains it (I know Greg doesn't :-) ).  Replying to the
message with a "take me off your list" won't fly either.

SPAM lists that claim to have an autobot to handle remove
requests are totally bogus.  I have have several email addresses
in the last several years becuase of employer imposed changes.
Most of those addresses still work even though they are not
preferred.  The removal autobot only sees the preferred address.
I know that some of the SPAM I receive is sent to an old address,
but I cannot tell the autobot to remove that address.

I know that Richard Rognlie has had several email changes in
recent years too.  I'm with Richard, check out http://www.cauce.org
