You can definitely disable the web interface, but what I do is simply edit the web page for that particular list and remove that option from the web page.
Also, you can definitely remove the <listname>-request alias so that no email requests are handled by the automated services. In this case I would point that alias to <listname>-owner and let the owner of the list handle the emailed requests by hand. If you are more sophisticated you can front-end the <listname>-request alias with a procmail script (or a simply a grep) that dumps any unsubscribe attempts. In that way, you can gain what you desire! Remember that when you go Open Source the answer is: You Can Do It!
