No, because LISTSERV.NET has no way to know what lists the user is subscribed
to.  There is no way we could support this kind of command on a netwide
basis as it would use far too much backbone bandwidth.  The LISTSERV.NET
address is good primarily for netwide unsubs and for subbing to a list
when you know the name of the list but not the server it runs on.

I'm afraid that people will simply have to keep track of what lists they're
subscribed to and send the SET commands to the appropriate servers.  It
can't be <that> hard to know what lists you're on, particularly if you
get mail from them often enough that they could threaten to fill your
mailbox while you're away on holiday :)
