This has been covered a bunch ... but here it is again:

There is a daily digest of the CentOS announce list that gets sent to the CentOS Discussion List. This is by design, and it clearly states on this page:

http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16

and on this page:

http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

that security updates are announcements are made once daily to the General discussion list.

It can not be unsubscribed to unless you unsubscribe from the General discussion list.

This was a compromise that allowed the announce list to split from the General discussion list ... there is a group who wants everything in the General discussion list (including security announcements) and another group that wants both lists totally separate. As a compromise, we spilt the lists ... but update the General discussion list daily with one mail on days with security announcements.
