email n...@nts.umn.edu with a request that you would like to be
unsubscribed to 'security'

Pedantic proper answer to how to unsubscribe from an nts list:

listname-request@listhost

For security (and most other mailing lists), that'd be:

security...@mail.nts.umn.edu

These addresses are currently forwarded into our REQ system, and will
still be supported when we move to a proper automated mailing list
mangler.

It's pretty much never the proper thing to do to send unsubscription
requests to a list. Standard Internet mail practice for long-long has
been to direct administrative mail to listname-request.

-jml *a pox on those who implement MLMs to silently fulfill
unsubscription requests sent to a list distribution alias*
