Dear Ron,

if you do something sane, like remove that stupid spam wall you have up,
you will most certainly receive back your confirmation email when you
send an email to debain-user-REQUEST@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject
line of "unsubscribe".

I will bet you your fanatical anti spam measures are not allowing the
confirmation email through, and of course the request bot will not fill
out your form to allow the email through.

Just drop it, send the email, get the response, confirm, then put your
wall back up. And no, I will not fill in your data so I can send this
to you, with apologies to the rest of the list for this spam.

BTW, challenge-response systems are considered harmful and not suitable for
production use for exactly this reason. There's a reason all packages
providing such functionality out of the box have been removed from Debian.
