Setup an email address that goes to a script...
  news-auto_unsub: |/usr/local/sbin/news-auto_unsub.sh

Let the script setup the email for you, or if you want to get fancy, have it 
actually to do the modification to nomail...

If you use smrsh, you will need to put a link to the script in your smrsh 
home directory (this lets sendmail know that the script is authorized to be 
exicuted via sendmail).
