Given that all my lists include instructions for leaving at the bottom of
every posting that goes out over them, I generally ignore them. But in the
case you describe I'd certainly encourage a list admin to do the right thing
and honor the requests, however misdirected -- the admin is at least partially
at fault for leaving their list open to this kind of abuse in the first place.

Force confirmation on all subscription requests. The current version of
majordomo makes this easy; I assume other list packages do as well.
