Okay, I think I've changed them all to "list" rather than "open", so that
only people subscribed can ask.

I could set 'closed', but then even the list owner can't find out, and
I need to do that for my script which unsubscribes addresses that bounce.

 I do also get sent notifications about subscriptions and unsubscriptions,
 so I could have maintained the list that way, but it's not worth doing
 that now !
