Jeremy,

My thought is that unsubscribing people, and allowing them to rejoin
the group, is perhaps a bit brutal, and will frequently lead them to
yo-yo out and back into the group. and not necessarily resolve the
'marked as spam' problem.

I don't see how suspending message delivery by a different means (e.g. No Mail) would be any more effective at resolving the issue.

An advantage to "dismemberment" is that it correctly handles the other case: the case where the member has lost interest in the group and used the "mark as spam" feature of their email interface rather than unsubscribing. That advice is not uncommon - for example Yahoo Mail's advice on the subject:

o Unsubscribe from mailing lists
At the bottom of any subscription based email there is an option to
unsubscribe. If you're not sure the email is legit, mark it as spam.

Better to set them to 'no mail', ...
...
There is the question of what to do about groups where 'no mail' is
not allowed

As I've mentioned before, I would not propose a mechanism that changes the user's Email Delivery setting - for that reason among others. Instead I'd propose a new subscription status.

The only advantage (over the current "dismemberment" mechanism) that I can see being gained by this extra complexity is that it converts the member to effectively a web-only member of the group. And for some that might be the best answer.
