   If by "from" field you mean the "From:" mail header, its not relevant.
   All that matters is the address you put in the body of the message,
   which need not be your 'current' address, but can be an old address,
   which is perhaps being forwarded to your current address.  

   I have just unsubscribed from gimp-user from a totally different mail
   account / server, and got an immediate succeeded response.  


Hmmmm.  I tried all of the host names that this machine has had and it
still rejected all of my attempts.
