In Seamonkey, you can set up filters based on things such as the sender's email address. One of the actions possible, is to send a message (not necessarily a reply) in response. With such a filter, as soon as a message from a certain person hits my in box, a message can be sent, that tells the list to unsubscribe that person. It certainly would be possible to do this in a relay fashion, via another account, so that the unsubscribe message does not appear to come from a list member.
