Has anyone seen a situation in Mailmain 2.1 where administrative requests

Is there a setting which could make this happen?
The "(Administrivia filter) Check postings and ...?", the administrivia option, on the General Options web admin GUI page for a list will affect detection of administrative messages sent to a list's primary mail alias. If turned off this will prevent the administrivia filter operating and ensure that, for instance, subscribe and unsubscribe requests are not diverted from the list to the list admin.
The default for this list attribute is controlled on list creation by the value of the DEFAULT_ADMINISTRIVIA configuration variable in the $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py/mm_cfg.py
We have a list which was converted over from Majordomo last month to
Mailman and now all of the members are being flooded with messages from
the list requesting to unsubscribe. Since this overloads other member's
mailboxes, they too are asking to unsubscribe, and the wave builds. We
need to stop this somehow.
Why not send a message to the list with a mailto link to the listname-unsubscribe mail alias and text reminding people to use that alias to unsubscribe.
