As a complete aside; I just want to note that this whole mailing list thing totally sucks.

This list gets about 2k admin actions (user not subscribed or whatever) an hour, for example (this is why I don't approve messages by hand anymore.)

Why can't mailing lists be more like anonymous IMAP servers (perhaps something similar but over HTTP, for those behind firewalls.) No more unsubscription issues, etc. I suppose there would need to be a personalized per-user receipt address as well...

Blah.

I run a few dozen mailing lists both at work and personally and I have given up on admin notices, thankfully with Mailman you can disable most of them.

I think most people that run public mailing lists end up tweaking the list software to not send them.
