Unfortunately, most of *my* objectionable material comes from within. I don't get much spam, probably because my list doesn't appear in Catalist, but despite a welcome message and a bottom banner with pretty clear instructions and frequent reminders from the listowner (me), I still get the occasional flurry of unsubscribe messages which cause confusion and annoy the list. After one such flurry someone replied "I keep getting messages telling me to 'Unsubscribe Black-IP' so I will." It would be great if there were a content filter (even just a subject line) to have those messages just bounce to the owner address (or better still back to the sender with a help file) whether from a subscriber or not. Perhaps a modification of the Topic= header: * Topic= NOunsubscribe,other could mean that "unsubscribe" is an invalid topic while everything else is okay (in this scenario, if a topic began with NO the colon or lack of is irrelevant).
