In a perfect world, that would be the best thing.  But there's no time
for that.

Instead, the message should say: "Hey, you sent them from an
unsubscribed address, so it's going straight into a blackhole never to
be seen again."

Alternatively, someone could volunteer to be the moderator for the
list.  (The list is not moderated, mind you, it's just that the
moderator has the power to take care of this kind of administrivia.)
