Unsubscribing from a List via Your Email Client

To unsubscribe from a list hosted by Topica (i.e. the email address ends with Topica.com), send a blank email message:

In the "To:" line, type: [listname]-unsubscribe@topica.com. Look in the "To:" line of a recent email you received from the list to find the exact [listname]. For example, if the address in the "To:" line is: topicatips@topica.com then you would send your unsubscribe request To: topicatips-unsubscribe@topica.com.
In the "From:" line, type your exact email address that is subscribed to the list. Some email providers, most commonly ISPs, universities, military, or corporations, use a hidden alias that slightly alters your address. If you've had trouble unsubscribing, a hidden alias is often the cause. See the Unsubscribing Tip titled "Identify Your Alias".
Click "Send" and within a few minutes you'll receive a verification message indicating that you've been unsubscribed from the list.

If the list is not hosted by Topica, you may unsubscribe through Topica's web site using your My Topica account.

Tip: Identify which of Your Alias Email Addresses is Subscribed to the List

When you unsubscribe from a list via email, you must use the exact email address that is subscribed to the list. Some email providers, most commonly ISPs, universities, military, or corporations, use a hidden alias that slightly alters your address. For instance, joe@msn.com, becomes joe@email.msn.com when an MSN e-mail is sent or received. This alteration is not usually visible to you in the address that shows in the "From/To" fields of e-mails you send or receive.

To find out if your address is altered by your ISP, look at the Full Header information on a message that you have received from the Topica newsletter or discussion from which you want to unsubscribe (see how to do that below under "View Full Header" ). The Full Header information in your email message should contain rows of information similar to the example below:

Received: from outmta009.topica.com (206.132.75.221)
by mx.topica.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id RAA20225
for <joe@email.msn.com>; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 17:21:22 -0800
To: newlists@topica.com
From: TipWorld <tipworld@boing.topica.com>
Subject: New Lists at Topica
Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2001 17:20:40 -0800
Message-ID: <0.1800000702.1489958855-212058698@topica.com>
Reply-To: tipworld@boing.topica.com

The Full Header example shows on Line 3 that joe@email.msn.com is the exact address subscribed to the list.

Tip: View the Full Header Information for an Email Using Your Email Client
