Good measures, but this is still unnecessary work. Why should James have to do all this work yet he never subscribed to the group in the first place?

Such spammers must be dealt with ruthlessly to discourage this behaviour on the part of group admins to subscribe people against their will. If they realize their groups will be reported and ultimately banned this might make them more careful

While I don't intend to protect the group admin, I still think that you are simply pushing this too far as this is nothing new. We've taken this journey before, right?
The forum which was the issue then was 'closed' but it reincarnated. Why don't we just accept that spam is part and parcel of e-mail and move on? If you've got a way to opt-out, it's easier than crying over it.
