    Hi,

    Hope this is the right email.

    Well... not quite. You now have let know all ~6000 subscribers
    of debian-user that you want to unsubscribe, but no one of us
    can do anything about it...

    I would like to unsubscribe from security all updates.

    Please remove this email - kornilov71@gmail.com - from the list.

    Only you can remove yourself. Send a mail to

    debian-user-request@lists.debian.org

    with the subject "unsubscribe" and follow the instructions.
    That's how to unsubscribe from the debian-user mailing list.
    In this case, however, he asked to unsubscribe from "security all
    updates".
    Which sounds like he might be trying to unsubscribe from the debian-security-announce mailing list?
    Or from something else, completely unrelated.
    In order to be sure, we'd at least need to know what the From address of
    those updates is, and potentially get a copy (e.g. as an attachment) of
    one of the messages in question. (And even that's assuming that the
    messages are coming in via E-mail, rather than popping up in some other
    context which led him to come here about them because he's running
    Debian and they're popping up with Debian.)
    Tip for the next time: most mailing lists do this. Look into your
    mail headers and you will find something like:

    List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:debian-user-request@lists.debian.org?subject=unsubscribe>

    which hints at what you can do.
    This is potentially still a viable option, assuming the messages
    involved are being sent through a traditional mailing list subscription
    rather than some kind of less user-controlled arrangement. It might even
    work if the "security all updates" messages are something entirely
    unrelated to Debian.
