Maybe it would be better to append a short note at the end of each message
that comes from list. The note should say:

"If you want to unsubscribe from this mailing list, send an empty message
 to [EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hardly everyone is familiar with the way ezmlm works (what a pity), so,
maybe it could help. The note might not be everlasting, e.g. when qmail
will have grown in popularity, it would be safe to remove the note.
