It isn't working because the beowulf.gsfc.nasa.gov address is defunct
and obsolete.  This is one (of many) reasons to use the proper domain
address:  www.beowulf.org.  This is a "portable" entity and has followed
Don Becker, Erik Hendriks, and many of the rest of the NASA Goddard
folks to Scyld.  I believe that www.beowulf.org is currently actually at
scyld.com but I'm not sure and the reason for using the domain name is
that it won't matter.  Whereever it really is, that's where you'll go.

So, try sending your unsubscribe message to majordomo at beowulf.org.

I believe that we are VERY close to having the beowulf list managed by
mailman, which will be a very Good Thing (tm).  If/when this finally
occurs, you can subscribe and unsubscribe and generally control the flow
of list traffic directly from a password protected web interface.  This
is a very desirable thing...
