My personal opinion is that any list over 100-250 non-local subscribers
is big enough for this. :)

That's what Delay(n) is for. n is in days, so if Delay(7), then they have
a week to respond. This differs from the 48h on command confirmation
requests.

Depending on what you're using for outgoing mail, no, you probably wouldn't.

It's relative to the last time the subscription saw activity, e.g., last
post to the list, last update of user options, etc. And yes, anything
that looks like a newsgroup, remailer, or redistribution list should be
QUIET SET NORENEW.
