(1) There is a filter in place to check all posts to the mailing list for
"administrative request" keywords like (un)subscribe requests.  Any post
containing these words does not make it to the list without the list
admin's approval.  This cuts down dramatically the kind of emails that you
talk about.

(2) When someone subscribers they get an email that clearly details the
unsubscribe process (along with instructions to save that email for future
reference) should the subscriber ever need it.
