Set Privacy options... -> Sender filters -> default_member_moderation

Set Privacy options... -> Sender filters -> member_moderation_action to
Hold
	

>3) Allow new members to subscribe but have the administrator approve 
>of their subscription.


Set Privacy options... -> Subscription rules -> subscribe_policy to
Require approval


>4) Allow unsubscriptions but inform the administrator of such.


Set Privacy options... -> Subscription rules -> unsubscribe_policy to No
Set General Options -> admin_notify_mchanges to Yes
	

>What is the best way to let list members unsubscribe?


Set Privacy options... -> Subscription rules -> unsubscribe_policy to No
and list members can unsubscribe themselves via web or email.
