Unsubscribe from the Federal Mailing List

To unsubscribe from the mailing list, you need to be able to read messages sent to the address you are unsubscribing, although you do not need to send the email from that address. To change your email address, you must follow the instructions for unsubscribing your old email address and then submit a subscription form with your new address.

1. Open your email client and choose the option to compose a new email message
2. In the To: field, type majordomo@us-cert.gov
3. Leave the Subject: field blank
4. In the Body of the message, type the following, substituting the email address you are unsubscribing for the example text:

   unsubscribe federal example@example.com

   Note: You do not need to send the email from the account you are unsubscribing.

5. Remove any additional text from the body of the message, including a signature line (if your email client automatically adds a signature when you send the message, disable this feature or type end at the bottom of your message)
6. Send the email (this does not complete the process)
7. Check your email at the address you are unsubscribing for a message from US-CERT asking you to confirm the change
8. Reply to the message (make sure the confirmation number appears in the Subject: of the message), adding one of the following words to the beginning of the Body of the email:

   accept

   reject

   Note: If you cannot send email from the address you are unsubscribing, you can copy the information into a message sent from your active email account. Make sure the correct confirmation number appears in the Subject: and either accept or reject appears in the Body.
