I think that the closest you can come is to have the server notify
you when someone unsubscribes.  At that point a letter can be sent
saying it is required that they be subscribed.  I would think though
that if someone were asking to be unsubscribed, and they were told
they were required to be subscribed, they probably aren't reading
the mail anyway.  I know that I wouldn't.  I'd find some way to
filter it out.
