If you don't want them using SET or UNSUB, then why use Listserv?
Just have a little script that mails stuff to the people you want,
and forget about all the nice features of a list server. It sounds
like the only way to ensure a forced send is to have a script that
forces a subscribe and then forces the set options, so why not
just have that script send the mail instead?
