By unsubscribing from the updates-announce mailinglist

Nice attitude, that really helped.

Good luck-

Someone's rather picky there? wobo just answered your question, i can't see how that's not helpful.
Looking at this a bit more, you subscribed to that mailinglist, and you got some mails from it, where you should also be able to recover that link
to the administrative web-frontend. Otherwise it's pointed out in the official documentation: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_subscribe_to_mailing_lists#How_to_unsubscribe_from_a_ml
Looking a bit more, the mageia-announce is not the updates-announce list, FWIW. Those are seperate mailing lists.


Anyways, it's always nice to see how thankful people are for free support

Let us be a little forgiving today, for it is "Blue Monday".

Sorry if i've misunderstood you, but that "Nice attitude, that really helped." appeared to me as it was meant rather sarcastic.
Please accept my excuse if you didn't mean it like that, i'm no native speaker and sometimes it's rather difficult to figure the intent
of an expression just by written words.

Otherwise, my comment "Looking a bit more, the mageia-announce is not the updates-announce list, FWIW. Those are seperate mailing lists." still applies.
The mageia-announce mailing list are for general announcements around Mageia, like releases, and really low-volume.
The updates-announce mailing list is for all the validated security updates in stable Mageia releases, and rather high-volume.

I dont see that in here: https://www.mageia.org/mailman/ I just wanna cancell that mailing list what are telling updated packages. Like this:

If i give wrong adress into that unsubscribe box, it works and say its wrong adress. But if i put correct adress and click submit, it gives that error,

Ah!
Ok, go to the website, log in (top line right) with your Mageia ID (same as for the forum).
Then click on "unsubscribe" in the left side menue. If after login you are sent to the overall view you click on the link to the mailing list in question and then on "Unsubscribe" in the side menue.
