I guess you could set
* Reply-To= listserv@<whatever>, Ignore
but I wouldn't recommend it. (Even with this they'd have to type
'UNSUBSCRIBE <listname>'.)
If you have 1.8d beta, I believe you could set up
* Reply-To= <listname>-signoff-request@<hostname>, Ignore
which would mean that anyone who replied to a mailing list message would be
automatically unsubscribed. I wouldn't recommend this either.
The problem with either solution, or with any solution at all, is that
legitimate responses to the messages won't be dealt with properly.
If you're going to follow either of the above procedures, be sure to have a
footer explaining exactly how to get in touch with a mailing list
administrator if that's necessary.
