Why can't they just unsubscribe from the mailing list ?

That is conceivably the longest sentence I've ever seen.
If you *must* run that muck as a server, then Mdaemon is quite a nice little
mailer.
The best and neatest solution is to get the user to unsubscribe. The ugly and
nasty solution is to
set a rule to bounce any mail from that list back to the list admin address as
undeliverable and
wait for the poor list manager to manually unsubscribe that address.
In the latter case the user who subscribed in the first place should be beaten
mercilessly with
either the nearest available clue-bat, or failing that a soggy pool noodle.
Public humiliation is an
acceptable substitute whilst writing 1000 times "I must learn to read
mailing-list on-join
instructions and use my brain".
