Unless you have the Return-Path procmail won't work. If you do, or if you have
access to the MTA, you already have the information needed to unsubscribe
normally.

Asking your administrator to make sure that Return-Path: lines are added will
help with other issues in the future as well, so it's a good idea to do that.
I think (hope?) the firewall suggestion was more of a joke.
> Surely it shouldn't be this difficult to unsubscribe?
No. If you're actually subscribed as <geoff.(something)@alphaworks.co.uk> the
list admin can probably unsubscribe you in a second, but may be reluctant to
do so for pedagogic reasons, or lack time.
Look at the header of a mail from the list. See what addresses are mentioned
in the Received: and Delivered-To: lines, like in my case:
Received: from mail.apache.org (hermes.apache.org [209.237.227.199])
by mail.lysator.liu.se (Postfix) with SMTP id 8D9DB200A1EB
