How about this regexp in some perl code that checks for
subscribe/unsubscribe requests [mis]posted to the list:
if( (some other conditions such as message size necessitate the check)
&& $line =~ /(subs?ri?e|su?s?ri?e|unsu????be)/ ) {
... message goes to moderator ...
}
The trouble is that the word "unsubscribe" is really hard to spell
correctly. Even if you know how to spell it, it is too easy to
mistype.
