It would seem to me this would violate some pretty basic principles of list operating. Someone who's subscribed against her will is in a position where she'll be reminded, every time she deletes a message unread, that she's getting them though she doesn't want them. If it were me, I'd either put the list address in a bozo filter or return every message I got. > Is there any way to make it impossible for a user to "unsubscribe" > himself from a given listserv? > > Here at Millersville University we frequently use listservs for > general announcements, and we want to make sure our students stay > "subscribed" and getting mail.
