Might a bit of very simple NLP be in order here?
How difficult would it be to write a small (7 line perhaps?) Perl or Rev script (I assume RunRev eats its own dogfood for it's list server management too) to detect things like this, forward the sender address to the appropriate other list-manger script, send a message to that effect to the sender, and then delete it from the Use-Rev list (okay, maybe 12 lines for all that).
Bad assumption. If you visit http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution and scroll to the bottom, you'll see that they use "Mailman", which is "Python Powered". If you ask me, that was the right decision - use standard, existing tools and focus their development resources on their own business needs (i.e. fixing bugs and giving us more features !!)
We are programmers after all..
And that means will never have enough time to get everything finished - so we need to avoid distractions. :-)
btw - I think it would be quite difficult. You need to pick out many varied combinations of words that mean "unsubscribe" - but you'd better not pick out this email, or any of the preceding ones in this thread; similar complexity level to a Bayesian spam filter, so not impossible, but far from a 12-line script.
