Use

approve <password> unsubscribe rtessler@whatever
(commands always go on the body, don't waste time with the subject).
Also, I prefer to write to <listname>-request@postgresql.org instead of
the -unsubscribe address (this may not make any difference).

The password can be the users' password or the admin's.

Another thing to consider is whether the address is really subscribed.
Maybe the guy is subscribed with a different address or somebody else is
bouncing messages to that account.

as headers say:
List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:majordomo@postgresql.org?body=unsub%20pgsql-bugs>

i would guess the proper way is to send email to majordomo@postgresql.org, with body (not subject) set to:
unsub LISTNAME

important part might be that the mail should be sent from the same email
as the email that is subscribed.

for example:

if you did subscribe using email x@x.com, but then you changed your
email to y@y.net, and you did setup forwarding from x@x.com to y@y.net
- when you'll send unsub request with "from: y@y.net" it will fail.
