That's easily dealt with.  Have the auto-reply trigger only on messages
whose subject consists of *only* the word "unsubscribe".
That way a subject like "Tried instructions, still can't unsubscribe"
or even "Re: unsubscribe" (if they reply to the auto-response)
would go through to the list -- business as usual.
Even this strict rule would make a real difference to the
background-noise level, I think.

It's so true...  Preaching to the choir...
