If you didn't send a welcome message, a slightly cheeky option is to
unsub (without notification), and invite the folks.

OTOH, if you did send a welcome, check Mailman's bounce log for bounces
and delete those addresses from the list.

Thank you! That is extremely obvious once you point it out, but since I've never run a list with unconfirmed addresses before that had completely slipped my mind.

As it turns out, 31 out of 288 addresses were bouncing. So the transcription error rate was much worse than I'd anticipated.
