I'm not sure what -B option you're talking about. The option that seems
most relevant would be the -R option to mlmmj-unsub, but I'm not sure
that it would work without a confirmation request first having been
sent. It might, though. It's certainly not intended to be used manually,
though. You can always unconditionally unsubscribe the user, without
notifying anybody, with -q -s on the commandline.

It certainly wouldn't hurt for bounces, etc. to be cleaned up when users
are unsubscribed, if this isn't already done.

The code does have some quirks, but once you get a feel for it, it's
quite straightforward.

The place to look for unsubscription logic and action, I believe, is in
the main() function for mlmmj-unsub, which you will find at the end of
mlmmj-unsub.c.
