As the owner of another mailing list, a frequent cause of
unsuccessful unsubscribing is that your email address has changed. So
naturally the mailing program can't work out who it should be unsubscribing.
Usually this is because you have moved to a new job or swapped from
work email to home email and are having things forwarded. But your
email address may change without your doing anything if your
institution changes it because it has a new name or because it uses
four-part addresses and changes the first part for its own
convenience -- the IT department arranges forwarding so that emails
to the old address still arrive.
So if your unsubscribe fails, think back to when you subscribed.
Reading the headers of a mailing should show you the old address
psi-com is using. If you can't access it anymore to send an
unsubscribe message then you will have to register and login to
JISCmail to sort it. Asking the poor list owner to do it for you is a
last resort :(
