It is not the case, for any mailing list of which I am aware, that you
unsubscribe by sending e-mail to all of the thousands or millions of
members of the mailing list.  This only arouses ire.

When you joined the list, you were sent an e-mail message containing
text something like:

> If you wish to be deleted from this list, send an e-mail message with
> the content of "unsubscribe" to BIND-USERS-REQUEST at ISC.ORG. Please

If you wish to do this, you might also wish to delineate your ".sig" by
having a line containing only "--" before it, so that the mailing-list
software does not treat all of the lines in your .sig as commands.
