+1 to jzb's idea of turning it off. The only thing I would like to add is that we add to to marketing join wiki page for the mailing list that there is a manual approval process so there might be delays. Just so we don't deter future contributors.

If they dont want let them unsubscribe theres not much that can actually be done.
They're not subscribed. There's some bot or something that's auto-filling the form to request a subscription - so they don't actually subscribe, they just get the confirmation.
Problem is, it looks like anybody getting this from us is also getting sent to a bunch of other mailman lists - so the effect is a bunch of (what seems to them to be) spam.
The other reason I think we might consider turning this off for a while - if enough people are getting this, it means there's some percentage just clicking some variation of "mark as spam" -- which could result in traffic from our lists getting a higher spam score.
