One option is to leave the address subscribed but to bar it from
posting, although that requires having separate poster/recipient
lists.

Separate lists can be useful for other reasons. E.g. it might be
desirable if anyone who was subscribed to any of the lists
@grass.itc.it could post to all of them; replies to cross-posted
messages may be useful on lists to which the sender is not subscribed.
