Not at all. Currently, the list receives one mail and sends one "you are not |
| 17 |
subscribed" mail back, which may or may not elicit an autoresponse. |

As it was, the list receives one mail, sends one copy to everyone on the list |
| 20 |
(including the user with the autorespond), which may or may not elicit an |
| 21 |
autoresponse. |

Unsubscribing the user will have reduced the traffic he is causing by a |
| 24 |
significant margin. |
