Recently I observed that users started receiving those newsletters
kinda mail. May be sombody internally subscribing it and that is why
they do receive. However as a general concept would like to know if
such mails can be stopped or is there any ready to use signature
available to alter the score.

If its a (semi)legit newsletter and the complaining recipient *hasn't*
followed the 'unsubscribe' instructions (in the message body or

they're a lazy git who got bored with the list and thinks reporting it
as spam is easier than unsubscribing.
If the newsletter doesn't act on the unsubscribe, report them to the
ICO, or the CAN-SPAM Complaint Wizard (good luck with the latter doing
anything) and/or add its URL (from the List-id, Sender or Reply-To
header) to your black list. This should be a last resort in case any of
your other users are subscribers.
If all these fail and/or it is only spam pretending to be a newsletter,
treat as normal spam: report it to a URIBL, train BAYES on it as spam or
extend/add a custom rule to trap it.
What if it's a "semi-legit" newsletter thatuserhas not subscribed into?
I have seen receiving this kind of e-mails from some "world saviours"
repeatedly to many addressess that did not subscribe...
