Hmm... this is definitely true for _subscribe_ messages, but I'm
not sure if it is true for _unsubscribe_ messages... after all,
those at least get the person off of the list. (Whether those
unsubscribed to the list in question can post to it does influence
this, of course... I wonder how well _not_ unsubscribing them,
but just adding them to a block list would work?)
