I've seen similar. Worst are extortionists: Sorbs.

I append an automatic footer with list URL for unsub.
as many list readers too clueless to use headers eg:
List-unsubscribe: <http://mailman.domain/mailman/options/test>,
<mailto:test-request@mailman.domain?subject=unsubscribe>
List-help: <mailto:test-request@mailman.domain?subject=help>

I've had some claim to be programmers, yet so dumb they didnt know
how to mail Ascii to majordomo@ & so self important they refused
to unsub themselves, who threatened then false registered the lists
server as a spammer.
I migrated from majordomo to Mailman, to stop clueless idiots, lazy
& malicious wasting admin time. I never tried the MajorCool web
interface to majordomo.
PS Sadly, FreeBSD.org are abandonning Mailman-2 for mlmmj !

That can be inconvenient:
- Mailman automaticly unsubscribes if too many bounces in a period,
the parameters ara adjustable per list.
- I use procmail to filter bounce warnings.
- I'm on about ~100 lists, & recently had an outage, i appreciated not
being quickly struck off busy lists.
