Where are those restrictions expressed. I do not see them at
List-Unsubscribe:
<http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users>. I do not see
them in either the subscription challenge mail nor in the welcome mail
pertaining to a recent subscription to mailman-users.
Your list, your rules. But, please, before criticizing folks for not
complying with your rules, make your rules clear and plainly visible
to subscribers before their subscription is completed.
