I think one can subscribe or unsubscribe without having an account like

   mygroup+unsubscribe@...
   mygroup+subscribe@...

Good point. I like that idea too.

What about archives? Starting from scratch and freezing the list at 
yahoo? Or is there a way to export the mails from yahoo? My personal 
mails go back to 04/2010, when I subscribed to the list. May be someone 
has the full archive locally.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
