Using the mechansims described in the List-Unsubscribe header:

List-Unsubscribe: 	<https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus>,  <mailto:info-cyrus-request at lists.andrew.cmu.edu?subject=unsubscribe>

Having said that, European Union countries usually require that the mechanisms be easy to use. In my view, that means that they should be described in the message footer (not hidden in a header). The more obvious paths from the URLs listed in the footer require cyrus.edu accounts for unsubscription.

The argument that list members ought to be able to find the List-Unsubscribe header because they're email professionals doesn't wash. It can't be presumed that they all are, and those that aren't will be wanting to unsubscribe.
