The only thing I can think of that's close would be to have the LISTSERV
maintainer SERVE the user OFF. The real solution if you want to deny
access to list postings is to delete their subscription (assuming
Subscription=By Owner and Notebook=...,Private).

Umm. I'm not sure what it is you want to _retain_ for the user. If I
understand correctly, you want it so that they can't receive list mail,
can't post to the list, can't read the archives... what's left that you
want to preserve that unsubscribing would take away?

Perhaps if you explained in more detail what you want to happen, I could
give you a better response.
