You can easily unsubscribe from Google groups or use the web interface

The "Illegal instruction" indicates that the CPU you run Sage on
doesn't have the needed instruction set [SSE2 or 3] the CPU the binary
was compiled on used. For a solution see the FAQ at

  http://wiki.sagemath.org/faq

specifically

  "QUESTION: I downloaded a Sage binary and it crashes on startup with
Illegal instruction. What can I do?"
