Not sure if this would be technically  possible, but I think that appending
a single line of text like "To unsubscribe send a mail with arbitrary
subject and body to [email protected]" as some kind of
signature/footer to any mail sent by [email protected] would
solve the issue. A brief research tells that this could be achieved by a
mailman template, but I haven't tested it.
