OK, it needs to be more nuanced than that. Perhaps it's worth distinguishing between addresses that have been specifically banned and those caught by regexps, or perhaps I missed an option that allows shutting down self-subscriptions completely rather than via the ban list. I think Mark responded to all your other comments, and I hope the patch in 3.3.1 works as expected.
