I'm sorry for sending this message to the list generally, but think that
there may be a problem with the list maintenance program.

I'm trying to change email addresses for receiving list items and thought
that I should send an "unsubscribe" message from my old address followed by
a "subscribe" message from my new address.

I've tried to unsubscribe by sending an email to thinkpad-request_at_cs.utk.edu
with "unsubscribe" as the subject and "unsubscribe rer_at_mcs.net" as the body.
This resulted in the following error message:

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<thinkpad-request_at_cs.utk.edu>
:include:/usr/local/mail/list-requests.alias
    (expanded from: list-requests)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 :include:/usr/local/mail/list-requests.alias... Cannot open
/usr/local/mail/list-requests.alias: Group writable directory
554 <thinkpad-request_at_cs.utk.edu>... aliasing/forwarding loop broken

What am I doing wrong?
