The fourth thing is to make it so that people can't subscribe themselves
if they stumble across the list infrastructure:
 - add a warning to the listinfo page (or use your webserver to make it
   impossible to access)
 - set all subscriptions to "must be confirmed and approved" (and then
   don't approve any)
