Mark, thanks for the reply
it does appear mailman was installed by rpm. if there is no rpm available to upgrade would it be difficult to upgrade to 2.1.13 or should I go to 3.something? I found the pages a little confusing on what the latest version really is. What version would be recommended to upgrade to?
details on the inability to unsubscribe:
the unsubscribe using the checkbox on the admin page does work.
the unsubscribe via email does work as well.
It is the unsubscribe on this page that does not work

<http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list>For a test I registered a new email then tried to unsubscribe using this page above. I would receive an email with subject of "mailman privacy alert" and a body such as, "an attempt was made to subscribe your address to the mailing list .... you are already subscribed to the list."
Feel free to attempt to duplicate the trouble by subscribing to the list and trying to unsubscribe using this method.

In what way does it not work? Are you talking about the unsubscribe check box on the list admin Membership List page or the unsubscribe from the user options login page or the unsubscribe from the user options page after login?
What happens when you try to do it?
The list is very low volume so upgrading it has not been a priority. I would like to understand how much effort is involved in upgrading from version 2.1.9 to the latest available.
I am running fedora 5 if that matters.
If you installed 2.1.9 from RPM, it is rather intricate to upgrade to a non-RedHat RPM version because of RedHat's modifications to support FHS.
An RPM upgrade should be very simple if there is a post 2.1.9 fedora RPM.
