No. There is no such switch, and implementing one would be tricky.

Here are some random thoughts.

You could set unsubscribe_policy to Yes, so unsubscribe requires
approval, and then manually do what you want. You might be able to
automate this or 'semi-automate' it.

When you set nomail for the user, you probably also want to set
password reminders off.

This could cause confusion for a user who changes her/his mind and
tries to subscribe and the subscribe fails because (s)he is already a
member.

See the set_nomail.py withlist script at
