Yes, I've been a majordomo/listserv operator for a while, this is
majordomo I think, right?
It supports so-called closed list...

Good idea, while some morons (excuse me, but that's the word for them)
were flooding my mailbox with irrelevant information I would rather
prefer having some discussion reagarding WWW security here :)

It is possible, we had it on our mailserver, I think you simply create a text file and modify majordomo's config files... we had the following:
************************* Attention: to unsubscribe from this list please
send e-mail to majordomo@ourisp.com with
************************* any subject and put "unsubscribe ourlistname"
without quotes. Please send this from the *************************
account you originally subscribed from, i.e. the one your mail is forwarded from.
or somthing like it.
