I'm not sure about capturing the messages themselves, but you could
certainly stop the spoofed subscriptions by setting
 
*Subscription= Open,Confirm
 
Then if someone tries to spoof a sub request, LISTSERV sends a "magic
cookie" response back--in this case, to the person on AOL, <not> to the
person spoofing the mail.  At least that way it keeps them from being
added to the list without their knowledge.
