1: Don't forget LISTSERV's standard command interface - mail.  I can't
   remember the origins of this debate, but if you're validating confirm
   messages then you're also preventing me forging someone else's
   unsubscribe request by mail.

2: Why not "Set <listname> NOMAIL"?  That's what it's there for.

Have fun,

Paul
