Generally the way to change your email address is to subscribe using
your new address and then unsubscribe from your old address.  I don't
really know a good way to "change" the address (although I suppose
mailman might have a way to do it, but I've never looked or tried).  The
Sub/Unsub sequence is sure to work.

If you're getting multiple messages that means you haven't unsubscribed
from the old address.  Note that you might still need to have access to
the old address in order to click on the "are you sure?" link that gets
emailed out.
