Is this not the same as the new "spoofed subscription" feature of 1.8c?
(See excerpt below)

Excerpt from the maintainer's release notes:
Starting with version 1.8c, LISTSERV is now able to detect these
"spoofed" subscription attacks automatically. When more than 50
subscription requests are received from the same account in a short time
frame, LISTSERV automatically undoes all the subscription requests and
rejects any further subscription attempt for a certain period of time.
This applies even to requests that LISTSERV forwarded to other servers;
LISTSERV will then send a SIGNOFF request to the remote server for the
address in question. Note that, in some cases, the subscription may not
be undone, either because of a temporary condition (locked list, etc)
preventing LISTSERV from deleting the user, or because the list was
configured with "Subscription= By owner" and the owner manually added the
victim after the arrival of the undo request.
