First of all, you should let Mailman remove users who are bouncing excessively. Check out the admin options for this and modify if necessary. This is not a task that you should be worrying about - that is why you use Mailman...
If you really want to catch the traffic for an unsubscribe then turn off your MTA (Sendmail, or whatever) then do the unsubscribe. Delete the created message out of your queue. Turn your MTA back on. There are also various MTA add-ons that will let you catch the traffic before it leaves your site. Jon Carnes ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.
