I've always expected that requiring users to register and deregister every
mailing list they join or depart would be interpreted as tedious and a
disincentive, resulting in complaints (and thus support costs or lost
customers) when they forget or get it wrong.  It seems like a tactic that
won't succeed at scale.

If you're talking about replay, I don't understand "must".  The replay
attack under discussion works fine if it's unicast.
