Correct action is inaction: good-humouredly, do nothing; and wait for the managers to clear it up. If (as in the case I described above) you feel you HAVE to unsubscribe, then take care to send your command to the admin service of the list (in this case majordomo@suse.com, as appended to all the suse-linux mails ... ). Even then, it may be some time before the backlog runs dry.
Remember that even list managers sometimes sleep: disasters can build up unnoticed overnight (in some other timezone than your own ... ). Detection and correction may take a little time. A mail-loop is almost always arises through someone else's fault, so don't blast off blame to the wrong address.
Best wishes to all, and thanks to Bodo Bauer and colleagues for breaking the loop.
Ted.
