yes, I've known this perfectly well for years.

They do not exist, for the reasons YOU just explained.

I would like clones of Marylin Monroe and Sofia Loren serving me
dinner every saturday.
Can't you see from YOUR OWN WORDS that if there is NO way to add
"unsubscribed-poster" markers to the messages BEFORE they reach
subscribers mailboxes (since they may come from gmane and lots other
places) the only way is:
to compare their sender address against a subscriber list AFTER
they have reached a subscriber mailbox?
which is something procmail or similar tools were born to do
AUTOMATICALLY?
Please understand that I'm not even offended, angry or anything and I'm
sure that you are a great person in general, and I mean it, but...
if you aren't interested in the completely automatic solution I posted
a few minutes ago in another reply AND you still insist on community
practices, FAQs periodically posted, footers and all other stuff that
has repeatedly failed and bored away many people in the last 9 years,
then YOU are placing yourself in the same category of guys against
which I wrote my 2010 post and consequently I see no reason why I
should keep wasting my time in this thread.

if you insist on doing a real online helpdesk with a mailing list and
"community practices" instead of custom autoresponders, it will be the
same completely useless, dead-from-the-start discussion that went on
here from 2002, no matter where you discuss it. Help yourself.
