Unfortunately there is plenty of mailing list manager software that will disable your subscription if your mail is rejected enough times. Mailman being a good example. I have been unsubbed from mailman lists that have allowed viruses through, even with the default mailman settings for boucne processing. In a perfect world, no mailing lists distribute spam, viruses and malware. At the moment therefore while practicing reject after DATA I do find it necessary to mark as spam and accept if it has Precedence: bulk (or list or whatever), because otherwise my users complain and "don't subscribe to poorly-managed lists then" is not an acceptable answer for them.
