Missed the seeing the header but it does make sense. Given this then,
how would anyone become subscribed without knowing. Even if some
unscrupulous individual initiates a subscription for someone elses
address, they still have to respond to the confirmation to complete
subscription.

That being said, the one thing that seems to be missing form the list(s)
via Collab.net/mailman is the option to disable receiving list e-mail
while still remaining subscribed.

I guess it's back to the drawing board
