Interesting.

Would this be similar or nearly have the same functionally by using an 
alias email address? for example:

     iane-dkim at sussex.ac.uk

Once you have that targeted address, you can apply all sorts of rules 
at your receiver.

But I can see your derivative of your idea work as a way to automate 
the process.

Use a redirection method by wrapping all the subscription parameters 
(for any list system) and send it to a (web) service on your system 
which activates a backend process to add the "list" info or new alias 
into your system records and finishes with the actual subscription 
email request.
